July 19, 2023 (KHARTOUM) – At least 14 people were killed in a drone strike conducted by the Rapid Support Forces on a gathering of civilians south of the capital, Khartoum, on Wednesday.
As the war enters its fourth month, the paramilitary forces have escalated their tactics, employing drones and MANPADS (Man-Portable Air-Defence Systems) against the Sudanese army, a development observed earlier last month.
“The rebel militias targeted civilians who gathered to welcome the army soldiers in the areas of Al-Azuzab and Wad Ajeeb with a drone. The attack led to the death of 14 civilians and the wounding of 15 others,” stated the Sudanese army spokesman.
The military official further disclosed that the army managed to destroy about 9 RSF combat vehicles and killed a number of its fighters while repelling an attack in the Al-Ashra area and Al-Dabbasin Bridge in Abu Adam, south of Khartoum.
