This followed the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) successfully recapturing the critical highway connecting El-Obeid to Khartoum on July 27. The RSF strikes targeted civilian areas and infrastructure as the city remains under heavy siege. UN reports warn of an escalating humanitarian crisis and high risk of mass atrocities as food supplies dwindle.
