KHARTOUM, Sudan
Two suspected Rapid Support Forces (RSF) drones attacked government headquarters in Al Damar, capital of River Nile state, on Monday night, while another targeted an army base in Rabak, White Nile state.
Local sources told our
correspondent that two explosions in Al Damar, approximately 310 km north of
Khartoum, with no ground defences activated. One drone hit the Ministry of
Local Government building, causing a fire, while the other landed near the
government secretariat.
Civil defence forces
extinguished the fire, and the River Nile State Security Committee later stated
that advanced defences shot down two suicide drones over Al Damar.
The committee added that “By
this attack, the Daglo family’s rebel militia demonstrates its continued
commitment to aggression and terrorism”, confirming no casualties and minimal
damage.
The targeted area in Al Damar
houses key government buildings, including the intelligence service and police
headquarters.
Simultaneously, another drone
attacked a special operations camp in Rabak, but military sources confirmed it
was successfully neutralized by ground defences.
The RSF has increasingly used
drones to attack army-held cities in recent months, notably targeting a Ramadan
gathering in Atbara in April, resulting in casualties. Similar attacks have
been reported in Gedaref, Shendi, Kosti, and Kenana.
