Rapid Support Forces (RSF) escalated drone strikes against El Obeid, North Kordofan, on June 29, 2026, targeting fuel depots and water stations. The International Rescue Committee warned that the encirclement of the city mirrors the 2025 siege of El Fasher, threatening 500,000 residents with famine. A specific strike on June 27 hit near a girls' school, with bombardment continuing through the 29th, cutting off critical humanitarian access and safe evacuation routes toward Kosti.
