Overview
- Reports say the RSF carried out coordinated drone strikes on Wednesday that struck Khartoum, Atbara and al‑Obeid, broadening the war beyond front lines and triggering air‑defence responses.
- Witnesses and medical sources said the RSF renewed a ground assault on al‑Obeid and that drone strikes there killed at least two people and wounded others while markets and services were paralysed.
- The RSF and allied fighters said they advanced into and captured the border town of Kurmuk in Blue Nile state after days of drone and artillery attacks, though independent verification remains partial.
- The Sudanese army reported engaging and downing some drones over Khartoum and Omdurman, while rights groups accused the army of killing civilians in North Kordofan, prompting calls for investigation.
- The violence cuts key highways and border routes used for food and aid, worsening an already severe humanitarian crisis that has displaced millions and left millions more facing hunger.
