Sudanese military sources said Wednesday that the army had repelled drone attacks launched by the Rapid Support Forces against the cities of Omdurman, Bahri, Atbara, Ad Damir, and El Obeid.

The sources said ground-based air defenses intercepted swarms of drones, while the army announced that it had shot down a drone in El Obeid. There was no immediate comment from the Sudanese authorities or the Rapid Support Forces on the attacks.

Sudan has been embroiled in a war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023, which has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced and forced millions to flee the country.
