On Wednesday, March 12, 2026, a drone attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the village of Shukeiri, White Nile State, Sudan, killed at least 17 people, including students, teachers, and health workers. The attack targeted a secondary school and a health center, also wounding 10 others. The Sudanese Doctors Network condemned the attack, stating it was a continuation of RSF violations in the region, including targeting civilian facilities. Since being pushed out of Khartoum in March 2025, the RSF has shifted its campaign to other regions, leading to accusations of war crimes and an investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) into both parties of the conflict.
