Summary

On November 2, 2026, drone attacks targeted the New Halfa power station, the Aroma Haya transformer station, and the Aroma Al-Sahil fuel depot in Kassala State, as well as the al-Ghazali substation. The strikes triggered fires at the targeted sites, which were captured in videos circulating on social media and observed by witnesses. Civil defense crews worked to extinguish the blazes, while the attacks caused widespread power outages in the region. The Sudanese military government has blamed the Rapid Support Forces for the strikes and claimed that Ethiopia is aiding the paramilitary group in the attacks, a charge the Rapid Support Forces deny.
