Rapid Support Forces drone attacks kill five in El Obeid

June 10, 2026 (EL OBEID) – Five people were killed, and 12 others injured on Wednesday in drone attacks carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeting civil sites in North Kordofan State, the Sudan Doctors Network said.

El Obeid has become a hub for advanced military operations for the army, targeting areas in South and West Kordofan as well as the Darfur region. The city has faced recurring drone attacks by the RSF, which have killed numerous civilians and caused extensive damage to markets and public facilities, including schools and hospitals.

The Sudan Doctors Network said in a statement that one drone targeted the Dalil cemetery during a funeral procession, killing four people and injuring seven others. According to the network, another attack struck a fuel station inside the city, leaving five people with critical injuries.

The statement noted growing fears that the casualty toll could rise, given the continued targeting of civilian areas and public facilities inside the city in recent days.

In a separate incident, the network reported that a truck driver was killed when his vehicle, loaded with food supplies, was targeted in the Jebel Kordofan area. The organization described the incident as a direct attack on civilians and supply chains that residents rely on for basic needs.

The statement condemned the “systematic shelling” carried out by the RSF against civilian objects in El Obeid. It added that targeting civilians, public facilities, and food transport vehicles constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law.

The network held the RSF leadership fully responsible for these attacks, calling on the international community and human rights organizations to take urgent action to protect civilians and halt attacks that threaten lives and worsen the humanitarian crisis.
