Poor headline. It might hit Sudanese airspace, but not "Sudan" as in the land forming that country. It might not even high Sudanese airspace, as it'll burn up in the "upper atmosphere."

Agreed.

"hit Sudan" is not as precise as "hit Earth this morning, Oct. 7th, and exploded in the atmosphere over northern Sudan." http://www.spaceweather.com/
