The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) conducted drone attacks on power infrastructure in Khartoum and Al-Jazira states, including the Al-Markhiyat transformer station, disrupting electricity supply, according to a source from the national electricity company. A separate RSF drone strike on a market in Nyala, Darfur region, killed at least 21 people and injured 40 others on Monday, with a medic at Nyala Hospital confirming the toll. The attacks follow a pattern of escalating drone warfare since the conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) began in April 2023.
Civilians in El Obeid face ongoing drone attacks by the RSF and arbitrary arrests by the SAF, with around 2,000 people held in El Obeid Central Prison, which has a capacity of about 450, the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for the Sudan reported. The Mission warned of increasing danger for civilians and called for an expanded UN arms embargo across Sudan, citing evidence of drone attacks and detention practices that may amount to war crimes.
