The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have escalated their drone attacks in towns across Sudan's North Kordofan, a state now a key frontline in the ongoing civil war. Residents report a significant increase in these strikes, disrupting daily life and fostering deep insecurity. This intensified campaign follows a period where RSF drone activity had seemingly decreased under international pressure.
Recent major attacks include a September 8 drone strike on a crowded courtroom in Um Ruwaba, which killed approximately 10 people and injured dozens. Shortly after, on September 9, a drone struck a college in al-Obeid, the state capital, destroying the roof and damaging eight classrooms. These incidents highlight the growing use of drone technology in the conflict, with both warring factions deploying advanced weaponry.
