Airstrike hits UN food convoy in Sudan as SAF vows major offensive
An airstrike targeted a World Food Programme (WFP) convoy in Sudan's South Kordofan region, disrupting critical aid deliveries amid a surging cholera outbreak. Concurrently, a United Nations fact-finding mission report published September 3 warned that foreign weapons and logistical networks are fueling potential war crimes. In response, Sudanese Sovereign Council member Yasir al-Atta announced the military is preparing a multi-pronged ground and air offensive against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), rejecting international calls for an expanded arms embargo.
