🚨 SAF Drone Strike Hits IDP-Inhabited Area in Central Darfur
This morning, April 27, 2026, the Sudanese Armed Forces carried out a drone strike targeting the Al-Hamidiya camp in Zalingei, Central Darfur State, Block 4. The attack caused damage to buildings and property in the area.
As of now, casualties have not yet been confirmed.
The site of the strike is located in an area inhabited by internally displaced persons (IDPs). This raises serious concerns about the possible targeting of civilians and civilian objects under international humanitarian law.
Sudan army accused of drone strike on Zalingei displaced camp[SudanTribune] The General Coordination of Displaced Persons and Refugees in Darfur accused the Sudanese army on Monday of targeting a crowded camp in Zalingei, Central Darfur, with a drone strike that injured at least 15 people.
The strike on the camp is part of an intensified campaign by the Sudanese army drones in the region. Over the past few days, aerial operations have frequently targeted numerous sites across the five Darfur states currently under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Political forces and armed movements allied with the RSF accuse the army of striking civilian targets. However, the Sudanese Armed Forces maintain that these raids target RSF positions, including weapon and ammunition depots, fuel stores, and drone hangars, as part of a strategy to disable the RSF’s offensive and defensive capabilities.
