A wave of eight suicide drones targeted key Sudanese Armed Forces bases in El Obeid, unleashing thunderous explosions across the North Kordofan capital just hours after SAF claimed to secure a major strategic breakthrough on a vital regional highway.
The early morning assault, launched by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), directly targeted the headquarters of the SAF’s Fifth Infantry Division.
Local authorities confirmed that the strikes caused no civilian casualties or injuries.
The drone strikes appear to be a direct retaliatory response to a significant shift on the battlefield.
The route serves as a vital economic lifeline and export corridor for the area.
