Two children killed in drone strike on mosque in central Sudan: Doctors

A drone strike carried out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) resulted in the deaths of two children at a mosque in central Sudan, according to the Sudan Doctors Network. This incident highlights the ongoing violence and instability in the region, where the RSF has been actively involved in military operations. The attack on the mosque is part of a broader pattern of violence attributed to the RSF, which has been implicated in multiple assaults on civilians and humanitarian efforts. In a separate but related incident, a drone attack by the RSF targeted a vehicle carrying displaced families in central Sudan, resulting in at least 24 fatalities, including eight children. The attack occurred near the city of Er Rahad in North Kordofan province, as the vehicle was transporting individuals fleeing fighting in the Dubeiker area. Among the deceased children were two infants, as reported by the Sudan Doctors Network. This attack has drawn condemnation from various international bodies, including the UN and the US, which have labeled the RSF's actions as violations of international humanitarian law. The RSF's recent assaults on humanitarian convoys have raised significant concerns regarding the safety of aid deliveries in famine-hit areas of Sudan. On February 6, 2026, a drone strike targeted a UN World Food Program convoy, killing one individual. This incident underscores the perilous conditions faced by aid workers and displaced populations in the region, as the RSF continues to encircle areas under Army control, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Observers have noted that the RSF's actions represent a blatant disregard for the safety of civilians and humanitarian operations in Sudan.
