Drone strikes have intensified in and around al-Obeid in central Sudan as the countrys devastating civil war closes in on the army-controlled city, causing significant civilian deaths in at least two cases, residents say.
The city is one of Sudans most important and the capital of North Kordofan state, part of the wider Kordofan region that stands between the RSFs Darfur stronghold and the army-controlled eastern half of the country.
After the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces RSF tightened their grip on the westernmost Darfur region in late October, they shifted their focus to Kordofan and drones have struck weekly in and around al-Obeid, residents say.
