Rapid Support Forces target Khartoum with drone strikes
The Rapid Support Forces launched a wide-scale attack using dozens of drones on the capital, Khartoum, and several major Sudanese cities, including Atbara, Doma, and El Obeid in North Kordofan, in the largest escalation seen in months. Long-range suicide drones were used in the assaults, resulting in explosions, rising smoke, and fires across multiple locations. No official information has yet been released regarding the extent of damages or casualties. Air defense systems managed to intercept some of the attacks. Reports indicate that the strike primarily targeted areas controlled by the army, while factions loyal to the Rapid Support Forces denied claims that they targeted the Wadi Seidna military base. These attacks come after the Rapid Support Forces announced their control over the town of Qaysan in Blue Nile State. They represent one of the largest aerial operations carried out by the group since losing strategic territories in July, amidst the ongoing conflict between the two sides that has persisted since April 2023.
