Sudan’s RSF steps up deadly drone attacks on frontline cities
The UN says drone attacks by both sides killed more than 1,000 civilians in the first half of this year.
- Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have intensified drone strikes in North Kordofan, disrupting daily life in government-held towns as residents describe a fresh campaign following weeks of relative calm.
- A drone strike hit a crowded courtroom in Ruwaba on Sept 8, killing 10 people and injuring dozens, according to Emergency Lawyers; a subsequent attack destroyed a college roof in Obeid.
- Salah Bakheit, wounded by shrapnel in the courthouse attack, fled to Ruwaba seeking shelter after months of bombardment in al-Obeid. "Once I heard the sound of the blast, I knew it was a strategic drone," he said.
- Drones have become the weapon of choice in Sudan's three-and-a-half-year-old civil war, with both the RSF and Sudanese forces deploying advanced technology; attacks killed more than 1,000 civilians in the first half of this year.
- The RSF has previously stated it does not intentionally target civilians, though the group did not respond to requests for comment; international pressure had temporarily reduced such strikes before this apparent renewed campaign.
