Saudi Arabia Formally Condemns Drone Strike on Khartoum International Airport

Saudi Arabia issued a formal condemnation of a drone attack targeting Khartoum International Airport in Sudan, reaffirming its position calling for the preservation of Sudan's unity, stability, and sovereignty. The statement underscored Saudi Arabia's ongoing diplomatic role in the Sudanese civil war, where Riyadh has sought to mediate between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Saudi Arabia hosted the Jeddah Process talks for Sudan in 2023, and Riyadh has maintained consistent calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian access. The airport attack represented a major escalation in the long-running Sudan conflict.
