RSF drone strike on Sudan court kills at least 13, injures over 20

A drone strike attributed to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit a courthouse in North Kordofan state, Sudan, killing at least 13 people and injuring more than 20 others, officials said. The attack occurred during a session of the local court, where civilians and legal personnel were present, and the blast caused extensive damage to the building’s structure.

The incident adds to a surge of violence in Sudan’s protracted conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces, which has seen frequent use of aerial weapons in civilian areas. Authorities have opened an investigation into the strike, while humanitarian groups warned that the growing frequency of such attacks could further strain already limited medical and emergency services in the region. No group has claimed responsibility, but the RSF has been implicated in similar drone operations elsewhere in the country.
