Sudanese rebels struck power plants in the southeast of the country, causing outages

Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) conducted a coordinated drone attack on five power plants, causing widespread power outages. The conflict between the army and rebels has intensified since April 2023, with drone strikes targeting infrastructure. The attacks affected regions under army control, leading to significant disruptions in electricity supply. The UN has warned that such assaults threaten the health and access to essential services for millions. The ongoing civil war has devastated Sudan, resulting in over 200,000 deaths and displacing more than 11 million people. The country faces soaring inflation and a currency crisis, further exacerbating the humanitarian situation.
