Drones attributed to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) struck the power stations at Al-Dabba and Abu Hamad in northern Sudan on Sunday 1 November, putting them out of service and causing power cuts, reports Sudan Tribune, citing local and government sources. A woman was killed near a petrol station hit in the Al-Multaqa area, about 25 kilometres south-east of Al-Dabba.
In Abu Hamad, in River Nile State, a drone targeted the electricity substation. An old thermal power station, already out of service, was also hit. In Al-Dabba, in Northern State, the strike on the substation cut power to the town and nearby villages. Military sites in the town and petrol stations in Al-Multaqa were also targeted.
Sudan Tribune reports that RSF drones have struck 14 power stations in two weeks across several Sudanese states. On 26 October, strikes had already targeted electricity facilities in four states, according to an earlier account of the attacks.
