Drone strikes hit 5 power stations in Sudan, causing blackouts in 4 states

The strike pattern matters more than the outage count: hitting five stations across multiple states in a single day points to deliberate targeting of grid infrastructure rather than incidental damage, and the Rapid Support Forces' ability to coordinate drone attacks at that scale signals a capability that utilities have no real defense against. The immediate burden falls on households and businesses in the affected states, where blackouts compound existing wartime strain on water, health and communications services. Whether the Sudanese Electricity Company can restore service quickly, and whether power infrastructure becomes a recurring target, is the open question for anyone tracking Sudan's economic and humanitarian trajectory.
