RSF Drone Strikes Kill 21 Civilians in North Darfur Markets Near Chadian Border
Between May 24 and May 25, 2026, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched an intensified drone campaign against strategic market towns in North Darfur. On Sunday, a strike on Al-Tina killed 14 civilians, followed by a Monday strike on the Kornoi market that killed five others. The aerial escalation targeted commercial hubs that serve as critical humanitarian corridors for refugees fleeing toward eastern Chad, where inter-tribal tensions are reportedly rising as the RSF prepares for a ground assault.
