 Power outage after drone strikes in Sudan's El Obeid


On Sunday, the national electricity company reported a significant power outage in El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan state, following drone strikes that targeted the local power station. 


The strikes come amid escalating violence in the oil-rich southern region of Sudan, where clashes between the national army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have intensified over the past two years. 


The RSF has recently launched an offensive aimed at seizing control of strategic areas in Kordofan, marking the region as the latest battleground in this protracted conflict.


The electricity company confirmed that the drone attack caused a fire in the machinery building of the El Obeid power station, leading to a complete halt in electricity supply. This incident underscores the ongoing instability in the region and the impact of military actions on civilian infrastructure.


Military Gains Amidst Ongoing Violence


In the wake of the drone strikes, army-aligned forces announced on Wednesday that they had successfully retaken several cities south of El Obeid from the RSF. The Joint Forces, an umbrella organization comprising various armed groups allied with the army, declared that they had achieved "sweeping field victories" in the North Kordofan axis. In a statement, the group highlighted their progress and control over several strategic locations, including Kazqil, Hamadi, El Rabash, Habila, and El Dubaibat.
