A drone strike blamed on Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed 12 people outside a courthouse in the army-held town of Umm Rawaba in North Kordofan on Tuesday, according to a medical source. Witnesses said the area outside the courthouse was crowded with residents who had gathered to complete legal and administrative procedures. One witness said they saw the drone hit a tree outside the building. Another witness said residents rushed to help those caught in the blast, and some died at the scene. The attack is the latest in an escalating wave of drone strikes by both the RSF and the Sudanese army, which have been at war since April 2023.
