RSF Intensifies Drone Attacks on Strategic City of El-Obeid in Sudan
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched intensified drone strikes against El-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan, on July 8, 2026. The attacks targeted key army-held routes, fuel stations, and residential areas, raising alarms over a worsening humanitarian crisis. Local reports indicate at least 45 people were killed in recent days as the RSF pressures the strategic city. The siege has severely disrupted water and electricity access for thousands of displaced civilians sheltering in the area.
