The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched drone attacks on civilian sites in Sudan's White Nile State, killing at least 17 people including students and medical staff. Targets included a student dormitory, school, hospital, health center, and power station over the past two days. The strikes are part of escalating drone warfare in the ongoing conflict between the RSF and Sudanese army, which has repeatedly hit civilian infrastructure and displaced thousands.
- White Nile State sits along the vital White Nile river linking central Sudan to Khartoum.
- RSF evolved from Darfur's Janjaweed militias notorious for genocide in the 2000s.
- Sudan holds Africa's third-largest gold reserves, fueling the war's intensity.
