In Kalogi, South Kordofan, Sudan, RSF attacks on Thursday, December 5, 2025, targeted a kindergarten and civilian facilities, resulting in approximately 47 deaths, mostly children, and about 50 injuries, according to SAF sources. The Sudan Doctors Network reported "deliberate suicide-drone attacks" by the RSF and its ally, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement–North (al-Hilou).

The UN has warned that the Kordofan region is at risk of mass atrocities due to the escalating conflict.
