RSF Strategic Drone Strikes Target Critical Infrastructure in Besieged El Obeid
Rapid Support Forces (RSF) intensified drone strikes against civilian infrastructure in El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan. The attacks specifically targeted the city's power grid, water treatment plants, and hospitals, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis for half a million trapped residents. While the Sudanese army has secured roads leading to the city, the RSF continues to use long-range loitering munitions to maintain a state of siege and disrupt essential services as a tactic of war.
