SAF Drones Strike Sarf Umra Market and Government HQ, North Darfur; Civilian Casualties

| Sudan Conflict

SAF drones struck Sarf Umra (also spelled Saraf Omra), North Darfur, hitting the local government headquarters, a fuel tanker, and the main market. Eyewitness Azzaldin Ali described explosions heard across the area with 'significant human and material losses, several people killed or injured and more than six shops destroyed.' The RSF condemned the attack alongside the Al Daein hospital strike as part of what it characterized as 'systematic bombing operations against civilians.' The exact casualty count was still being compiled, but local sources reported multiple deaths and injuries. The strike followed a wave of SAF drone attacks on RSF-held population centers across Darfur and Kordofan in late March 2026.
