TREE NEWS update: Drone attacks struck two areas of North Kordofan state in central Sudan, causing dozens of civilian casualties. The state government said the capital El Obeid was hit at dawn, killing 2 civilians and wounding 20 others, and blamed the Rapid Support Forces for targeting displacement camps, a fuel station and residential buildings in violation of international humanitarian law. The RSF has not responded.
Drone strikes in central Sudan kill civilians in North Kordofan
The striking detail is the target set: displacement camps, a fuel station and residential buildings, with the state government — not an independent body — as the sole source and the RSF silent. That asymmetry matters because North Kordofan sits on a corridor between the Darfur and Khartoum theatres, so where displacement sites and fuel infrastructure are hit, the effects register as both humanitarian and logistical. Whether the RSF responds, and whether any independent verification of the toll emerges, is the open question.
