The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has killed 27 people in a reported drone attack on a Sudanese army base in the southeastern city of Sinja, a military source told Al Jazeera.
Monday’s attack coincided with an announcement a day prior that the government, aligned with the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), would be returning to the capital, Khartoum, three years after it had shifted its base of operations to Port Sudan.
The SAF and the RSF have been locked in a brutal civil war since April 2023, with Khartoum State serving as a central area of dispute.
The military source, who spoke to Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity, said Monday’s drone attack targeted not only leaders in the government forces but also the security teams and civilians accompanying them.
