Sudan: Drone Strike Kills Seven Children in El Obeid

Published January 6, 2026, 08:24

A drone strike in El Obeid, Sudan, has resulted in the deaths of ten people, including seven children. The attack targeted a house in the central part of the city, which is controlled by the Sudanese army and besieged by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The resulting power outage, due to the destruction of a power station by a drone, is worsening the humanitarian situation. The war in Sudan, which began in April 2023, has caused a massive humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced. Various mediation efforts to end the conflict have failed.
