Overview
- The UN human rights office has recorded at least 269 civilian deaths in Kordofan since 25 October from air and artillery strikes and summary executions, with blackouts likely obscuring a higher toll.
- Local officials report a high‑casualty drone attack in Kalogi: South Kordofan authorities cite 79 dead including 43 children, while SAF sources told Al Jazeera about 47 fatalities, mostly children.
- Kadugli is in confirmed famine and Dilling faces grave risk as sieges tighten and aid remains blocked, driving more than 45,000 people to flee in recent weeks.
- Fighting has surged across the three Kordofan states after the RSF seized Bara on 25 October; claims of control over Babnusa are disputed, and reported strikes include 45 killed in El Obeid on 3 November and at least 48 killed in Kauda on 29 November.
- UN agencies and aid groups call for a halt to arms flows, restoration of telecommunications, protection for humanitarian personnel, and safe corridors to reach trapped communities.
