The situation in Sudan shows no signs of improvement. War has been ongoing between the country's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since April 15, 2023. This conflict, which has lasted for approximately 33 months, has caused immense devastation in Sudan. Thousands of people have died and many more have been injured due to this war. Millions have been displaced as a result of this conflict. Tens of millions are facing a food crisis due to the conditions created by the war. The terror of the RSF has not subsided yet. Once again, the RSF has struck Sudan with aerial attacks.

The RSF carried out the attacks while a high-level security meeting of the Sudanese army was underway, attended by the governors, military, and security officials of Sennar, White Nile, and Blue Nile states. The drones fell directly on the meeting hall, causing chaos. A second attack occurred on a market in South Kordofan state, leading to screams and panic.
