"According to the Sudan Tribune and other local media outlets, the RSF launched drone strikes targeting a funeral service in el-Obeid on Monday. "Local sources report that at least 40 civilians were killed and dozens injured yesterday in an attack on a funeral gathering in el-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan State," the UN's agency said. "Once again, OCHA calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and for all parties to protect civilians and respect international humanitarian law.""
"In recent months, these two regions have emerged as the epicenter of Sudan's war. Last week, the RSF seized el-Fasher following an 18-month siege. The paramilitary rampaged through a hospital, killing over 450 people, according to the World Health Organization. They also went door-to-door, killing civilians and committing sexual assaults. The RSF has denied committing atrocities, but survivors who fled the city, along with online videos and satellite imagery, described the carnage following the attack."
At least 40 civilians were killed and dozens injured in an attack on a funeral gathering in el-Obeid, North Kordofan. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported the casualties but did not specify timing or perpetrators. Local media and the Sudan Tribune reported that the Rapid Support Forces launched drone strikes on the funeral. The RSF recently seized el-Fasher after an 18-month siege; WHO reported over 450 killed during a hospital rampage there, with reports of door-to-door killings and sexual assaults. Survivors, online videos and satellite imagery described widespread carnage. The International Criminal Court warned such acts may constitute war crimes. Tens of thousands have been displaced and RSF now controls Darfur as it prepares further offensives in Kordofan.
