The Guardian · world

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have launched coordinated drone attacks targeting five power stations across three eastern states, resulting in widespread power outages. The strikes hit two stations each in Al-Jazira and Gedaref, and one in White Nile state, all areas controlled by the Sudanese army. These attacks exacerbate the dire humanitarian situation, threatening essential services for millions already facing a severe hunger crisis. Residents fear the loss of critical supplies like refrigerated medicine and perishable food, impacting livelihoods and basic needs.
