RSF Drone Strike on South Kordofan Market Kills Five Civilians
A drone strike launched by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted a crowded marketplace in Kartala, South Kordofan, on September 2, 2026, killing five people and injuring 20 others. This attack is part of a broader intensification of drone warfare in the Sudanese conflict, following reports of the SAF shooting down an RSF-operated Turkish-made Akıncı drone over Nyala earlier this week. Civilian casualties continue to mount across the Kordofan and Darfur fronts.
