苏丹快速支援部队（RSF）对北科尔多凡州首府埃尔奥贝德持续进行无人机轰炸，造成学校、医院和水处理厂等民用设施严重破坏[1]。一所小学遭无人机击中，导致3名儿童死亡[1]。联合国和人权组织警告RSF可能即将攻占该城市，担心重演去年10月埃尔法舍尔城被占领时的大规模暴力事件[1]。
埃尔奥贝德原有人口50万，目前已有数十万流离失所者[1]。RSF部队距城市约30公里部署，而苏丹武装部队（SAF）在埃尔奥贝德驻守约13000名士兵[1]。联合国特使佩卡·哈维斯托在6月表示："我们对该城周围持续的敌对行动（包括频繁的无人机罢工）感到警惕"[1]。
苏丹军队近期从首都喀土穆发动新攻势，声称已控制连接苏丹首都和埃尔奥贝德的360公里长公路[1]。然而，RSF在撤退时仍继续进行掠夺和暴力活动[1]。RSF指挥官穆罕默德·哈姆丹·达加洛（"海美蒂"）上周一下令允许指挥官自主发动反攻[1]。
Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have deployed unmanned drones to attack civilian infrastructure in El-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan State, destroying schools, hospitals, and water treatment facilities [1]. A strike on a primary school killed three children [1]. The city, which once housed a population of 500,000, now shelters tens of thousands of displaced persons [1].
UN Special Envoy Pekka Haavisto warned in June that "we are alarmed by the ongoing hostilities around the city, including frequent drone strikes" [1]. The United Nations and human rights organizations have cautioned that RSF forces, currently positioned approximately 30 kilometers from El-Obeid, may be preparing to capture the city [1]. This concern reflects fears of a repeat of the large-scale violence that followed RSF's occupation of El-Fasher in October 2025, which had endured 18 months of siege before falling [1].
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have launched a fresh offensive from Khartoum and claim to control a 360-kilometer highway connecting the capital to El-Obeid, though RSF forces continue looting and committing violence during their withdrawal [1]. The SAF maintains approximately 13,000 soldiers stationed in El-Obeid [1]. RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as "Hemeti," authorized field commanders last week to independently launch counterattacks [1].
