SPLM-N Artillery Shelling Kills Five in Dilling, South Kordofan

SPLM-N (al-Hilu faction) forces shelled residential areas of Dilling, South Kordofan state, with artillery on Saturday, September 5, 2026, killing at least five people — including a child — and wounding at least seven others, the Sudan Doctors Network said. The attack came a day after the same monitoring group accused SPLM-N of killing more than 21 Otoro villagers in Debi and Luwairi near Kauda, and underscores the collapse of the RSF-backed ceasefire initiative that al-Hilu's SPLM-N never joined.
