RSF Drone Kills 5 Civilians in Vehicle on Road Toward Omdurman — Jammouiya Triangle, South Khartoum

An RSF drone struck a civilian vehicle traveling from the White Nile province toward Omdurman on the Jammouiya Triangle road on May 2, 2026, killing five civilians. The Emergency Lawyers Sudan organization, an independent legal advocacy group that tracks civilian casualties, reported the attack and condemned the RSF for violating international humanitarian law. Al Jazeera reported the strike as the second RSF attack on the Khartoum area that week, noting a previous strike on Al-Amal Hospital in Jebel Awliya the prior Tuesday. The Washington Post, ABC News (via AP wire), Arab News, and The Defense Post all confirmed the death toll of five. The location is approximately 90 km south of central Khartoum, on the road approaching Omdurman from White Nile State — an area that had previously seen heavy RSF activity before SAF's 2025 recapture of Khartoum. The strike is part of the RSF's documented pattern of targeting civilian vehicles, gathering points, and transportation corridors across SAF-controlled central Sudan. UN human rights monitors had documented approximately 700 civilian deaths in drone strikes across Sudan in Q1 2026, with a 50% increase in child casualties versus Q1 2025.
