Drone Strike Hits UN Food Convoy in Central Sudan as Kordofan Becomes New Flashpoint

A UN World Food Programme convoy was hit by a drone near El Obeid in North Kordofan, killing at least one person and injuring others, as drone incidents mount across Sudan. The attack, blamed by local medics on the Rapid Support Forces, highlights how the conflict’s spread into Kordofan and the growing use of drones endanger humanitarian operations and worsen an already dire relief situation.
