Summary

On November 2, 2026, drone strikes targeted three electricity substations in Northern State and eastern Sudan, specifically the Aroma, New Halfa, and al-Ghazali facilities. The attacks caused widespread power outages. Videos circulated on social media showed fires at the New Halfa and Aroma stations, with civil defense teams working to extinguish the blazes. Sudan's military government has blamed the Rapid Support Forces for the strikes, further alleging that Ethiopia is aiding the paramilitary group in the attacks, a claim the government has brought to the United Nations Security Council and the African Union's Peace and Security Council. The Rapid Support Forces have denied accusations of targeting civilian infrastructure.
