Sudan says RSF drone strikes hit governor's house, civilian sites in Blue Nile state

Sudanese authorities say the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) carried out drone strikes targeting a state governor's house and civilian sites in Blue Nile state. Officials have not released details on casualties or the extent of damage caused by the reported attack.

Blue Nile state has seen repeated clashes and attacks tied to Sudan's broader conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, a war that has displaced millions of people and caused extensive damage to infrastructure across multiple regions of the country since fighting began.

Civilian sites reportedly affected

The reported targeting of civilian sites alongside a governor's residence underscores concerns, repeatedly raised by humanitarian organizations, about the impact of the conflict on non-combatant populations in Sudan. Officials have not specified which civilian facilities were struck or whether anyone was present at the time of the reported strikes.

As is often the case with reports from active conflict zones in Sudan, independent verification of the full scope of the attack has not been confirmed, and authorities may release further information on casualties and damage in the coming days.
