Dilling

Dilling is a key town located in the Kordofan region of Sudan, specifically within the state of South Kordofan. It has strategic importance due to its role as a major route for supply lines. Dilling has been newsworthy recently due to intense fighting between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). For nearly two years, the RSF had laid siege to Dilling, effectively controlling major supply routes. In late January 2026, the Sudanese military announced that it had broken the RSF's siege and gained control of the road leading to South Kordofan. However, shortly after the military's announcement, a drone attack by the RSF on Dilling resulted in dozens of casualties, highlighting the continued instability and conflict in the area. The town's control is vital for controlling supply lines in the region.
