RSF attack kills nine civilians, displaces residents in Sudan’s North Kordofan

At least nine civilians perished and 14 others sustained injuries when Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked the Jammama area in North Kordofan State, the Sudan Doctors Network (SDN) reported Wednesday. The SDN directly attributed the deadly assault to RSF fighters, labeling it another grave attack on civilians in a region already devastated by Sudan's protracted civil war.

The medical monitoring group stated the assault triggered a significant displacement of residents who fled the violence in search of safety. The attack targeted the Jammama locality, causing civilian casualties and widespread panic. This incident aligns with a pattern of recent RSF operations in North Kordofan, which have included shelling, drone strikes, and ground assaults on populated areas and villages.

At least nine civilians, including two women, were killed and 14 others wounded after Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked the Jammama area in North Kordofan State, the Sudan Doctors Network (SDN) said on Wednesday, as fighting continued to devastate civilian communities across the region.

North Kordofan has become a primary battleground in the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF. While the state capital, El Obeid, remains under SAF control, it has faced repeated RSF drone and artillery attacks. Surrounding towns and rural communities have experienced intense fighting and recurrent displacement.

The escalating violence deepens an already severe humanitarian crisis, marked by food shortages, limited medical supplies, disrupted aid deliveries, and growing displacement. Hundreds of thousands have fled towns like Bara and Umm Rawaba, while many rural communities remain trapped between advancing front lines. The United Nations and humanitarian organizations have repeatedly warned of possible atrocity crimes and deteriorating humanitarian conditions, urging for civilian protection and humanitarian access.
