The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) deployed MiG fighter jets to conduct heavy air strikes against Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targets in Dilling, South Kordofan, on April 22, 2026. The bombing targeted the Al-Dulaymah and Birno areas, marking the first use of heavy military aircraft in the region in months after the SAF previously shifted to drone-only operations due to air defense losses. These strikes signify an escalation in the Kordofan front, displacing approximately 1,500 civilians from nearby residential zones.
