RSF says Burhan’s army drones hit Sudan-Chad aid crossing

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces said Thursday that General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army drones launched air strikes near the Adkon gate beside the Adri border crossing with neighbouring Chad.

In a statement, the Sudanese group accused Burhan’s army of repeatedly targeting areas used to transport humanitarian assistance into western Sudan’s conflict-stricken regions.

The RSF described the attack as part of a pattern, claiming the same area has been bombed three times since the beginning of the year.

According to the statement, the strikes struck close to routes relied upon by aid organisations delivering essential relief supplies to communities facing deepening humanitarian hardship.

The group said the Adri crossing serves as a critical lifeline, channeling food, medicine, and emergency support toward Sudan’s western Darfur states amid ongoing fighting.

It warned that any disruption to operations at the crossing could immediately restrict aid flows and worsen already fragile living conditions for civilians.

No immediate response was issued by the Sudanese army regarding the allegations, and independent verification of the reported strikes remained unavailable at the time of publication.

The border region has increasingly become a fragile artery of survival, where humanitarian convoys move cautiously between conflict lines and uncertain security conditions.

Aid agencies have repeatedly stressed the importance of maintaining safe corridors, warning that interruptions risk amplifying hunger, displacement, and medical shortages across Darfur’s war-affected communities.
