According to multiple sources for Sudan Tribune, the 18th Infantry Division Command of the Sudanese army in Kosti, White Nile state, southern Sudan, successfully neutralized two Rapid Support Forces (RSF) drones targeting the division headquarters.
No casualties were reported.
The same sources reported that another RSF drone targeted the Kenana air base in White Nile state but was also shot down by air defences. Sources suggest that the RSF launched the drones from the Jebel Aulia area, located in the far south of Khartoum and adjacent to the White Nile state.
The RSF’s targeting of White Nile state came a day after army commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan arrived in Kosti as part of a tour that includes al-Managil in Al Jazirah state, Kosti in White Nile state, and Sennar state.
In addition, army anti-aircraft guns in the Wadi Seidna military area north of Omdurman engaged and shot down two more drones without causing any damage.
