SAF Air Defenses Intercept RSF Drone Salvo Over Omdurman and Khartoum North

Sudanese army air-defense systems intercepted a salvo of RSF drones over Khartoum state on June 9, 2026, with witnesses reporting multiple explosions across Omdurman and Khartoum North. Military sources said the RSF attempted to strike sites northwest of Omdurman — including the Wadi Sayedna military base and the Jabal Sarkab area — using at least four projectiles, all of which were intercepted with no casualties reported. The strike came days after a coordinated RSF multi-state drone offensive on June 5 that hit Omdurman, Ed Damazin (Blue Nile), and Abu Jubeiha (South Kordofan) in one of the broadest single-day RSF drone operations of the war, underscoring the RSF's sustained long-range strike capability against the SAF-held capital region despite losing ground control there in 2025.
