ALBAWABA- At least nine civilians, including two women, were killed and 14 others wounded after Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked the Jammama area in North Kordofan State, the Sudan Doctors Network (SDN) said on Wednesday, as fighting continued to devastate civilian communities across the region.
According to the Sudan Doctors Network (SDN), seven civilians, including two women, were killed and 14 others injured in a Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attack on the Al-Jamama area in North Kordofan State, triggering a large wave of displacement as residents fled the violence.
The medical monitoring group said the assault triggered a large wave of displacement, forcing residents to flee the area in search of safety. The SDN attributed the attack directly to RSF fighters, describing it as another deadly assault on civilians in a region already heavily affected by Sudan's ongoing civil war.
Initial reports indicate the attack targeted the Jammama locality, causing civilian casualties and widespread panic. The incident follows a pattern of recent RSF operations in North Kordofan involving shelling, drone strikes, and ground assaults on populated areas and villages.
North Kordofan has emerged as one of the main battlegrounds in the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF. The state capital, El Obeid, remains under SAF control but has repeatedly come under RSF drone and artillery attacks, while surrounding towns and rural communities have witnessed intense fighting and repeated displacement.
The violence has further deepened an already severe humanitarian crisis marked by food shortages, limited medical supplies, disrupted aid deliveries, and growing displacement. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled towns including Bara and Umm Rawaba, while many rural communities remain caught between advancing front lines.
The latest attack comes amid escalating clashes across Sudan's Kordofan region, where fighting has intensified since 2025. Civilian areas have increasingly become targets of shelling, drone attacks, and village raids, prompting repeated warnings from the United Nations and humanitarian organizations over possible atrocity crimes, deteriorating humanitarian conditions, and the urgent need for civilian protection and humanitarian access.
The Sudan Doctors Network continues to document civilian casualties across the country as Sudan's conflict, which erupted in April 2023, has displaced millions of people and created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
