Darfur Death Toll Reaches 114 After Drone Strikes and RSF Offensive

UN officials warn of escalating attacks on civilians in a conflict marked by blocked access.

Overview

  • Medical sources reported 51 people killed in army-attributed drone strikes on the RSF-held town of Al-Zuruq, with a market and nearby homes hit.
  • RSF advances around Kernoi left 63 people dead, with local medics also reporting dozens injured in the week’s fighting.
  • Drone attacks on the power station in El-Obeid triggered a citywide blackout, the national electricity company said.
  • More than 7,000 people fled Kernoi and nearby Um Baru in two days, according to the United Nations.
  • The UN has described both sides’ attacks on civilian areas as a war of atrocities, as reporting from Darfur remains constrained by access and communication blackouts.
