Two Coordinated Drone Strikes on Wedding-Bound Vehicles Kill 23

July 6, 2026 | Sudan Conflict

Two drone strikes hit vehicles carrying wedding guests on July 6, 2026: in Al-Sha'tout, North Kordofan, a strike killed 13 people (including 5 women); on the outskirts of Omdurman, a separate strike killed 10 people, all members of one family. The Sudan Doctors Network called the attacks deliberate and blamed RSF-guided drones for both strikes, which together killed at least 23 civilians in a single day and drew condemnation as a deliberate targeting of civilians rather than incidental collateral damage.
