On Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026, a drone strike on a convoy of nine displaced people traveling from the village of Bani Shako in Kurmuk locality toward Damazin in Sudan's southeastern Blue Nile State killed all nine and left several others injured.
The attack was reported by a local official to Xinhua and was also cited by Sudan Tribune, which described it as a Rapid Support Forces drone strike in Kurmuk County killing nine civilians.
Both outlets link the strike to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, noting that air operations by the Sudanese Armed Forces have intensified against RSF positions and its ally, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement‑North, in several areas of the region.
Xinhua added that drone attacks on residential gatherings and villages in Kurmuk have increased in recent months, pushing civilians toward Damazin.
The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces, which has raged since mid‑April 2023, has already left tens of thousands dead and millions displaced within Sudan and across its borders.
