RSF Drone Attacks Target Essential Infrastructure in El Obeid
Rapid Support Forces (RSF) intensified their offensive on El Obeid, North Kordofan, using drones to strike fuel depots, power facilities, and water infrastructure on July 23, 2026. The strategic commercial hub, home to 600,000 residents, faced immediate service collapses and a spike in gasoline prices to $15 per liter. Aid agencies warned of a potential cholera outbreak due to the destruction of water treatment systems. The city remains a key objective for RSF control over western Sudan.
