The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) occupation of the Khartoum International Airport is an ongoing military occupation of Sudan's most important airport, the Khartoum International Airport, by the Rapid Support Forces during the War in Sudan as part of the Battle of Khartoum.
The RSF forces managed to capture the airport in the early hours of the attacks on Khartoum, the airport itself was the place of the first official attack of the entire conflict. The attack also killed two people.[2][3]
The occupation of the airport caused the destruction of between 10 and 20 civilian aircraft from several countries.[4] Attacks on it continued across the occupation, destroying the airport.[5][6]
