Sudan's RSF Rebels Strike Two Cities at Once

On August 12, 2026, Sudan's RSF rebel force attacked two cities at once — El Obeid and the capital, Khartoum — using drones and ground troops, killing civilians in El Obeid. Sudan's military shot down some drones. Two days earlier, the army had pushed the RSF back in western Sudan. Striking so far apart raises doubts about whether those gains will last.
