Overview
- An RSF drone hit a kindergarten in Kalogi, South Kordofan, killing 50 people including 33 children, the Sudan Doctors Network said, as UNICEF condemned the attack and warned of urgent protection needs.
- Since 25 October, the UN human rights office has documented at least 269 civilian deaths across Kordofan from strikes, shelling and executions, with communications blackouts likely obscuring a higher toll.
- Kadugli and Dilling face besiegement with famine confirmed in Kadugli and risk in Dilling, while humanitarian access remains largely blocked and displacement surges across the three Kordofan states.
- The RSF’s late-October seizure of Bara shifted the front toward key Kordofan hubs, with the group claiming control in Babanusa and UN reporting El Obeid as partially surrounded as clashes with SAF and SPLM‑N intensify.
- Satellite analyses and investigator briefings describe El Fasher as a vast crime scene with large-scale body disposal, fueling calls for independent access and a halt to arms flows, though some high death estimates remain disputed.
