Tragedy in North Kordofan: RSF Drone Strike Kills Child at Quranic Center Amid Surge in Mass Displacement

A drone strike launched by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit a Quranic school (Khalwa) in Al-Rahad, North Kordofan, killing a child and wounding dozens of others. This escalation comes as fierce battles rage on the outskirts of the strategic city of Bara, where the Sudanese Army carried out airstrikes against RSF positions. Military sources confirmed the destruction of several "hostile drones" and their launch systems, aiming to protect civilian areas from further aerial attacks.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported a staggering surge in displacement, with over 115,223 people fleeing the three Kordofan states since late October. According to the IOM, 81 security incidents have triggered this mass exodus, marking a rapid acceleration in the humanitarian crisis. With nearly 13 million people displaced nationwide since April 2023, the conflict continues to drive Sudan toward one of the world's most severe humanitarian catastrophes.
