An ammunition depot in El Obeid, North Kordofan State, was struck by four Rapid Support Forces drones, a military source said. The strike destroyed the facility, though authorities are still counting the damage. The source confirmed no casualties have been reported so far.
Residents described a thunderous explosion in the Al-Qubba neighbourhood, followed by the sharp crack of ammunition erupting within the heart of the city. The blasts sent waves of fear through El Obeid, where people said the city shook under the weight of fire and smoke spiralling skyward.
For months, Kordofan has endured fierce clashes, with the General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army and Rapid Support Forces seizing and losing ground in a grim cycle of control. The latest strike highlights the growing use of drones by the Rapid Support Forces, giving them reach deep into contested urban strongholds.
El Obeid, long considered a strategic prize, has become both fortress and battlefield, its streets echoing with the sound of war’s relentless advance.
