At least 10 people were killed in a suspected drone strike by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on a court building, the Eastleigh Voice reported. The attack comes amid growing concern over drone warfare in Sudan's conflict. In May, the United Nations reported that drones had become the leading cause of civilian deaths in the conflict, accounting for more than 80 per cent of civilian fatalities in the first four months of 2026, with at least 880 people killed.

Sudan has been experiencing ongoing conflict since 2023, following the outbreak of fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. According to Eastleigh Voice, the people in El Obeid are facing continuous drone strikes as a result of this war.

The Sudanese army has intensified its offensive to retake the strategic city of Kurmuk, located on the border with Ethiopia. This military action follows months of operations in Sudan's Blue Nile region, which escalated after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allied militia, the SPLM-N, captured Kurmuk in March 2026. There are growing concerns about the potential spillover of the conflict into neighboring Ethiopia.

A spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition said that Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia have wounded 73 civilians. According to the official, the Houthis targeted civilian sites in the cities of Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran. The statement, reported by Al Jazeera, attributes the casualty figures and the claims about the locations struck to the coalition spokesperson, and no independent confirmation of the figures was provided in the report.

Russian drones struck a border crossing between Ukraine and Moldova in the Odesa region, killing two people and injuring three civilians, according to officials cited by Al Jazeera. The attack, reported on 9 September 2026, hit the Ukraine-Moldova border area. Authorities confirmed the casualties, though further details about the extent of the damage or the specific crossing targeted were not provided in the initial report.

In Sudan, the decision of some Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters to switch allegiance and join the national army has sparked anger and instability among citizens. Many are upset, arguing that RSF commanders who have made this move will evade legal accountability for their past actions, which include violence against civilians and even killings. Last month, RSF commander Ali Rizkallah was welcomed in Khartoum and promoted within the Sudanese army despite his controversial history.
