Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces launched drone strikes on the capital Khartoum and other Army-controlled cities on Wednesday (august 12, 2026), in what appeared to be their largest coordinated attack in months. The capital Khartoum, which was recaptured by the Army last year, has been targeted by drone strikes before but had been enjoying relative calm for months. In Khartoum North (Bahri), just across the River Nile, two drones hit a mosque and an electricity transformer in the El-Droshab area, according to an eyewitness. Two eyewitnesses in the town of Sifeiya, 90 kilometres from the South Sudan border, reported a drone strike on the local airport, which the Army uses as an airbase. There were no immediate reports of casualties in the attacks, hundreds of kilometres away from each other.
