RSF Drone Strikes El-Obeid Fuel Station, North Kordofan — 4 Wounded

A drone struck a fuel station in El-Obeid, the SAF-held capital of North Kordofan State, on June 6, 2026, wounding four civilians who were transferred to a local hospital. The strike was reported by Asharq Al-Awsat alongside the Abu Zaeima market attack on the same day. El-Obeid has been one of the most targeted SAF-held cities in the war, subjected to near-daily RSF drone strikes throughout 2026 — including a residential house strike on May 29 that killed 10-24 people (including 8 children), a strike on legal administration buildings on June 3, and numerous earlier strikes on residential and civilian areas. The RSF does not control El-Obeid but retains the long-range drone reach to conduct persistent strikes on the city, which serves as the key administrative and logistics center for SAF operations in North Kordofan. The fuel station targeting on June 6 continues the RSF pattern of hitting economic infrastructure to degrade SAF logistics and civil administration capacity in the contested state capital. UN OHCHR documented El-Obeid as one of the cities most frequently targeted by drone strikes, contributing to the 880+ civilians killed by drones nationwide in Q1 2026.
