Sudanese Army Intercepts RSF Drones in Khartoum
By Editor • September 10, 2026 • 1 min read
In a significant development on September 10, 2026, the Sudanese army successfully shot down multiple drones belonging to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) near the capital, Khartoum. This military action comes amidst ongoing conflict between the two factions that has devastated the region.
A military source informed AFP that the army's air defenses were activated following reports of explosive sounds in the northern Omdurman area, which houses a vital military zone. Witnesses in Khartoum reported hearing anti-aircraft fire followed by several explosions during the early morning hours.
This incident is not isolated; just last month, the RSF had attempted drone strikes against Khartoum on consecutive days, both of which were thwarted by the army's defensive measures. The conflict, which erupted in April 2023, has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands and has triggered severe humanitarian crises, including widespread hunger and displacement.
Despite the turbulent backdrop of war, there have been signs of life returning to normalcy in Khartoum, as approximately 2.3 million displaced individuals have begun to return. Reconstruction efforts are underway, and market activities have resumed, indicating a cautious resurgence of daily life.
