RSF escalates drone strikes on North Kordofan towns, deepening civilian insecurity

Sudan's Rapid Support Forces have stepped up drone attacks on government-held towns in North Kordofan, including Um Ruwaba, disrupting daily life and heightening civilian fear. The escalation signals a tactical shift toward asymmetric aerial warfare in a frontline state, though the strategic impact on the broader civil war remains unclear. This continues the established pattern of RSF attacks on civilian areas, but the increased frequency and use of drones mark a notable intensification.
