Sudan War Monitor Damage due to suspected RSF drone strike at the 'British Hospital' in El Obeid, 2 March 2026 The Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) mounted coordinated attacks against the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) over several days along the southern, northern, and eastern approaches to Dilling, South Kordofan, targeting the town’s main supply corridors. By Monday, RSF elements had established control over critical stretches of the Dilling–Kadugli and Dilling–Habila roads, effectively severing both routes and undoing the Sudanese Armed Forces’ recent relief operations in South Kordofan. With international attention elsewhere and no credible mediation effort ongoing, fighting in Sudan is likely to continue for a fourth year. The civil war has forced millions from their homes and shut down schools and universities across much of the country. Millions of teens and young men are now in military training camps, as two alliances—one led by SAF and the other by the RSF—continue to make preparations for a long war. The latest fighting took place at a crossroads where the RSF had successfully attacked army positions in December 2025, before withdrawing. Recent SAF drone attacks targeting RSF logistics and fuel supplies, verified by Sudan War Monitor in West Kordofan and Abyei, southwest of the frontlines, impeded RSF operations and resulted in a lull in the fighting over the past month. Mobile SAF units and relief supplies reached the besieged cities of Dilling and Kadugli in late January and early February 2026, respectively, easing food prices and resulting in claims that the sieges had ended. However, the rebel alliance sieging the two cities downplayed the arrival of relief forces and supplies, asserting that they had never intended to totally starve the two cities. Further, they said the SAF units had snuck in through back ways, maneuvering to avoid RSF units, and that they still controlled portions of the main north-south road in Kordofan. The latest RSF operations further extend the rebels’ control along the key supply corridors and highlight the persistent threat to Dilling and Kadugli. Videos reviewed and geolocated by Sudan War Monitor confirms RSF presence at multiple points along these axes. On the Dilling–Kadugli road, videos recorded on Monday show RSF vehicles and personnel in Keiga Timero (التقاطع) at 11°24’49.67”N 29°39’51.53”E. Fighters are seen standing along the main road in the centre of the village. In the footage, a soldier filming himself states that the date is 13 Ramadan, corresponding to March 2, 2026. The location is about 40 kilometers north of Kadugli, the state capital.
