- Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab identified freshly dug mass graves consistent with body disposal operations, as the UN genocide prevention adviser sounded the alarm and the ICC moved to preserve evidence.
- Conflict is expanding into North Kordofan, where the RSF seized Bara and is besieging El‑Obeid and Babnusa, prompting fresh displacement and reported civilian deaths, according to UN‑cited sources.
- The UN says more than 13 million people are displaced and famine has been declared in parts of Darfur, with aid groups reporting tens of thousands fleeing El Fasher and children arriving severely malnourished in Tawila.
