Sudan's civil war continues to intensify as the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) say they shot down a drone operated by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) over the strategic city of El Obeid in North Kordofan. According to SAF statements, the drone was intercepted while allegedly targeting military or civilian infrastructure amid escalating fighting.

The incident highlights the growing role of drone warfare in Sudan's conflict, where both the SAF and RSF have increasingly relied on unmanned aerial systems. Sudanese authorities have repeatedly alleged that the RSF receives foreign support, including from the UAE—an allegation the UAE has denied.

Watch the latest updates on the Sudan conflict, the battle for El Obeid, drone warfare, and the humanitarian crisis unfolding across the country.

00:15Sudan's brutal civil war has entered a new and dangerous phase, with drone warfare now
00:22at the center of escalating violence.
00:24According to statements from the Sudanese Armed Forces, a hostile combat drone operated
00:31by RSF elements was shot down over the city of El Obed in North Kordofan State.
00:38The incident reportedly took place around June 25, 2026, during ongoing clashes in one
00:46of Sudan's most strategically important government-held cities.
00:50El Obed has been under increasing pressure in recent weeks, with repeated drone attacks
00:56and heavy fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces.
01:02Military sources say the intercepted drone was targeting either military positions or civilian
01:08infrastructure inside or near the city.
01:11The RSF has been accused of using advanced unmanned combat drones in its operations, including
01:19models believed to be of Chinese origin, such as the FH-95 or CH-95 systems.
01:26El Obed has become a major flashpoint in the conflict, with frequent aerial assaults reported
01:33on key infrastructure such as fuel depots, power stations, and supply routes.
01:38In recent weeks, dozens of civilian casualties have been reported in and around the region,
01:44as drone strikes intensify across North Kordofan.
01:49The United Nations has warned that continued fighting in the area could lead to large-scale
01:54humanitarian catastrophe, with hundreds of thousands of civilians at risk if the city comes
02:00under full assault.
02:02Both sides in the conflict are increasingly relying on drone warfare, marking a shift in
02:08Sudan's civil war from traditional ground battles to high-intensity aerial strikes and interceptions.
02:14The Sudanese Armed Forces claim they have successfully intercepted multiple RSF drones in recent operations,
02:22while RSF continues to conduct attacks on strategic targets.
02:26The involvement of foreign-supplied drone technology remains a major point of dispute, with allegations
02:33of external support fueling both sides, claims that are strongly denied by some of the accused
02:39countries.
02:40However, independent verification remains extremely difficult due to restricted access and ongoing
02:47combat operations on the ground.
02:50As the war continues, El Obed remains on the edge of a growing humanitarian crisis, with
02:56civilians caught in the middle of an increasingly technological and deadly battlefield.
03:02The situation remains highly volatile and continues to evolve rapidly.
