Sudan's Rapid Support Forces Drone Strike on North Kordofan State Courthouse Kills at Least 13
According to Al Jazeera reports, Sudan's Rapid Support Forces used drones to attack a courthouse in North Kordofan State, killing at least 13 people and injuring more than 20. The report noted that the paramilitary force has recently significantly increased its use of drones in areas controlled by the Sudanese Armed Forces.
Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched a drone strike on a courthouse in North Kordofan State on the 9th, killing at least 13 people and injuring more than 20. Al Jazeera, citing local sources, reported the incident.
The Rapid Support Forces are a paramilitary force engaged in ongoing fighting with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). According to Al Jazeera's reporting, the force has recently significantly intensified its use of drones in areas controlled by the Sudanese Armed Forces, and the attack on the courthouse represents the latest strike in this offensive. As a judicial and public service facility, the courthouse's targeting directly undermines the remaining civilian governance capacity in conflict zones, and also places ordinary members of the public going about their business at lethal risk.
The casualty figures currently come from local sources, and Al Jazeera's reporting noted that independent verification remains limited, with the specific motive and chain of command behind the attack not yet publicly disclosed.
