Army of Drones

Saudi Arabia has accused Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces of carrying out a drone strike on an aid convoy, according to the Sudan Tribune. The accusation marks a notable intervention by Riyadh, which has positioned itself as a mediator in Sudan's civil war between the RSF and the army. The alleged attack on humanitarian supplies is likely to heighten scrutiny of the RSF's conduct and complicate peace efforts.

At least 35 people were killed in Darfur, Sudan, when a drone attacked a court assembly, according to a rights group cited in the report. The group blames the army for the strike. The attack comes amid the ongoing conflict in Sudan between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which has repeatedly hit civilian gatherings and infrastructure.

Drone attacks attributed to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces hit a fuel depot in El Gezira state, in the latest escalation of the country's civil war. Both the RSF and the Sudanese army claim to have shot down drones during the exchanges. The strike on fuel infrastructure raises concerns about supply shortages for civilians already facing a severe humanitarian crisis.

A drone attack attributed to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces struck a strategic fuel depot in central Sudan, according to a report by the Sudan Tribune. The strike targeted critical fuel infrastructure in the war-torn country, where fighting between the RSF and the Sudanese army has been ongoing since April 2023. Further details on casualties or the extent of the damage were not immediately available.
