Dozens killed in RSF drone attack in war-torn Sudan’s South Kordofan

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

On Wednesday, January 29, 2026, dozens were reportedly killed in Dilling, South Kordofan, Sudan, after a drone attack by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The attack targeted multiple areas, including the Sudanese army's 54th Brigade headquarters and the central market. This occurred a day after the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) announced breaking the RSF's nearly two-year siege of Dilling. The RSF is reportedly attempting to reinstate the blockade, while the SAF continues to hold the area. The ongoing conflict between the RSF and SAF, which began in April 2023, has resulted in thousands of deaths and millions displaced. The Sudan Doctors Network is urgently requesting a humanitarian corridor to deliver essential supplies due to the critical shortage of health services and supplies in the area.
