\nA drone attack carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has hit a vehicle transporting displaced families in central Sudan, killing at least 24 people, including eight children, the Sudan Doctors Network said. The attack on Saturday occurred near the city of Rahad in North Kordofan province, the medical monitoring group reported, adding that the passengers had fled fighting in the Dubeiker area.
\nAmong the children killed were two infants, the network said in a statement posted on X. The latest attack follows a serious of drone attacks on humanitarian aid convoys and fuel trucks across North Kordofan which on Friday killed at least one person and wounding several others.<\/p>\n
The North Kordofan state government condemned Friday\u2019s attacks on a convoy linked to the World Food Programme (WFP), urging the international community and United Nations bodies to impose sanctions on the RSF paramilitary group\u2019s leadership.
\nThe attacks occurred along the key road connecting the state capital, el-Obeid, with Kosti in neighbouring White Nile state.
\nFighting between the government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF has intensified across the Kordofan region since October 2025 after el-Fasher fell to the RSF, where the group committed atrocities \u2013 a \u201ccrime scene\u201d according to the UN.
\nAccording to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the first attack at dawn hit three trucks in Er-Rahad.
\nA second attack followed in the Allah Kareem area near Es Samih, damaging four vehicles, including trucks carrying UN relief supplies.
\nIn Um Rawaba, three drones struck a transport truck and a fuel tanker, causing additional civilian casualties. The WFP has not yet issued an official statement.
\nThe Sudan Doctors Network said the convoy was delivering assistance to displaced communities in el-Obeid when it came under attack, describing the incident as a \u201cblatant violation of international humanitarian law\u201d and a war crime.
\nThe group called for an independent investigation and stronger international measures to protect humanitarian workers and infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
