| [SudanTribune] A drone strike, suspected to have been carried out by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), targeted the family home of Sudan Shield Forces commander Abu Agla Keikal in Al-Jazira State on Saturday evening, killing six family members, including his brother. Local sources told Sudan Tribune on Sunday that a drone circled the village of Al-Kahli Zaidan in eastern Al-Jazira before firing several missiles at the Keikal family homes. The raid resulted in the deaths of six people, including Major Azzam Keikal, a prominent leader in the Sudan Shield Forces and the commander’s brother. Other victims identified include Mohamed al-Siddiq Keikal, Khalid Abdel Qader Keikal, Abdallah Qasmalla Rahma, and al-Siddiq Bakheet Mohamed Bakheet. Two others, Haider and Khalid Keikal, were reportedly injured. Youssif Amara Abusun, a leader in the Sudan Shield Forces, mourned the victims in a social media post, stating that the loss would only increase the group’s “strength and solid determination”.
