Suspected drones launched by Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) struck multiple cities across Sudan on Wednesday, including the capital Khartoum and Al Obeid, residents reported. The incidents occurred in areas west of Omdurman, Bahri, Atbara, and Al Obeid, which lies in the central Kordofan region. At least two people were reportedly killed and six injured during the attack on Al Obeid, where residents believed the RSF targeted the army's Fifth Infantry Division base.
Residents in the capital observed the drones flying over the city before hearing explosions shortly after dawn. Video footage showed black smoke rising above Khartoum and damaged buildings. However, the authenticity of the videos remains unverified. The RSF drone attacks come a day after the paramilitary force claimed to have captured the town of Qayssan in southern Blue Nile, near the South Sudan border.
The conflict in Sudan has been raging for four years, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths and 14 million displaced people, making it the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
