RSF Drones Strike Sewage Tankers in El Obeid, Killing Driver
Two separate RSF drone strikes hit water/sewage tankers in central El Obeid on June 21, 2026: an early-afternoon strike injured 4 civilians, and an evening strike killed the tanker driver and wounded 2 more. The attacks were part of a drone campaign hitting the SAF-held North Kordofan capital at a rate of roughly 2-6 strikes per day through late June, part of the broader RSF siege dynamic later described by the UN as an escalating human rights crisis.
