> At least 14 civilians were killed and dozens injured in an attack on Um Arada, southwest of El Obeid, according to Sudanese sources. The Rapid Support Forces claimed “full control” of the area, while the Sudanese army said it repelled an RSF assault. Fighting across North Kordofan is worsening humanitarian conditions.
