RSF Drone Strikes Kenana Fuel Station and Industrial Complex, White Nile State

An RSF drone struck a fuel station and parts of the Kenana industrial complex in White Nile State on May 3, 2026. Dabanga Radio TV Online reported the attack on fuel infrastructure at Kenana, the site of one of the world's largest sugar companies and a major SAF logistics hub. The Wikipedia Sudan Civil War 2026 timeline also records this strike on the 'Kenana industrial complex,' citing Sudan Tribune. No deaths were reported; damage was primarily to fuel and infrastructure assets. The Kenana complex (approximately 70 km southeast of Kosti and 320 km south of Khartoum) hosts the Kenana Sugar Company, Sudan's largest agro-industrial operation, and the adjacent Kenana airbase — the same military installation that was struck by RSF drones on April 29, 2026 as part of a coordinated wave targeting SAF White Nile State positions. The repeated targeting of Kenana demonstrates RSF's intent to degrade SAF fuel supplies, logistics infrastructure, and economic assets in SAF-controlled central Sudan. The attack comes the day after the RSF killed nine family members of Sudan Shield Forces commander Abu Aqla Kaikal in a targeted strike on his family compound in Al Jazirah State (May 2), indicating a broadening RSF campaign against SAF-allied forces and their supply infrastructure.
