Sudan drone strike kills mourners at funeral procession, RSF blamed

Friday, 12 June 2026, 06:32 · 1 min read

A drone strike on a funeral procession at a cemetery in el-Obeid (a key army-held city in Sudan's oil-rich Kordofan region) has killed at least four people and wounded several others, according to rights groups Sudan Doctors Network and Emergency Lawyers, both of which blame the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The attack was part of a broader wave of strikes beginning Wednesday that also hit residential homes, the airport district, and a food supply truck, bringing the overall death toll to at least 23. El-Obeid lies at a strategic crossroads in Sudan's three-year civil war between the army and the RSF — a conflict that has displaced more than 11 million people and left 28 million facing acute hunger in what the United Nations describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
