Sudan: Sudanese army air defenses responded Thursday to a drone attack targeting Omdurman, west of the capital Khartoum, for the second consecutive day, eyewitnesses said. Eyewitnesses reported that the army's ground-based air defenses locked onto drones attacking western parts of the city, with no immediate reports of casualties or material damage.

According to Anadolu Agency, the El-Fasher Resistance Committee, an activist group, stated that drones belonging to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) were flying over Omdurman, Bahri, and Khartoum. The group reported multiple explosions as ground-based air defenses engaged the drones.

On Wednesday, areas including Bahri and Omdurman in the central Khartoum metropolitan area, Atbara and Ad-Damir in northern River Nile state, and El-Obeid, the capital of southern North Kordofan state, were targeted by drone attacks attributed to the RSF. Sudan has been engulfed in conflict since April 2023, when fighting erupted between the Sudanese army and the RSF over plans to integrate the paramilitary force into the regular military. The war has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, displaced millions, and triggered one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
