The UN warned of an imminent RSF offensive and siege on el-Obeid, capital of North Kordofan, amid a significant buildup of RSF troops, intensified artillery shelling, and drone strikes on the city. Drone strikes targeting fuel stations and trucks have caused an acute fuel crisis, paralysing public transit and disrupting water treatment facilities, prompting civilian flight toward White Nile State.
