Summary

A drone strike hit civilian areas in the Al-Hijra neighborhood of Damazin, capital of Sudan's Blue Nile state, killing at least four women and wounding dozens of others on October 7, 2026. The strike damaged homes, a mosque, a technical college, and the residence of Blue Nile state Finance Minister Abbas Kara. Rights groups, civil society organizations, and state officials blamed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for the attack and called for accountability and an independent investigation. The RSF has not commented on the incident. The attack occurred amid Sudan's ongoing conflict between the military and RSF, which has killed at least 150,000 people and displaced over 12.4 million since April 2023.
