At least 23 civilians were killed on Wednesday in scattered attacks carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia on villages surrounding El-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan State.
Mustafa Mahmoud, a displaced person who recently arrived in El-Obeid, told Sudan Tribune that “a force affiliated with the RSF, riding in several combat vehicles and motorcycles, attacked the areas of Lamina and Al-Haqoona, located 40 kilometers south of El-Obeid, firing indiscriminately at civilians, resulting in at least 23 deaths and 14 injuries. The injured were transported to El-Obeid.”
He added that the attacking force looted agricultural crops, homes, satellite communication devices (Starlink), and a large number of motorcycles.
According to sources from the Humanitarian Aid Commission in North Kordofan State, the total number of villages attacked by the RSF and depopulated over the past few weeks has reached around 46 villages, with most residents fleeing toward the state capital.
