Satellite images show damage at Khartoum Airport after attacks in Sudan

Satellite Images Khartoum Sudan Airport Attacks

Last Monday (17), some images captured by satellite show the damage at Khartoum Airport in Sudan after the attacks that began last weekend. The images were captured by the company's satellite Maxar Technologies.

The images show some destroyed aircraft such as the Boeing 737-800 of the Sky Up company, which is already suffering the consequences of the war between Russia and Ukraine. An Airbus A330-300 registration HZ-AQ30 belonging to the Saudi airline was also destroyed. 

Other planes appear in the destroyed images, including possibly an Embraer ERJ 135 or 145.

Conflicts between the allies of the Armed Forces led by Abdel-Fattah Burhan against the Rapid Support Forces (RFS) group led by General Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo aim to assume power in Sudan.

All commercial flights to or from Khartoum Airport were suspended indefinitely.
