UAE-Backed Rapid Support Militia Strikes Shendi with Six Missiles, Causing Power Outages, Days After Sudan Reveals Evidence of Drone Attacks Launched from Ethiopia Sudanese Echo | October 30, 2026 The UAE-backed Rapid Support Militia (Janjaweed) reportedly launched a drone attack on the city of Shendi in Sudan's River Nile State on Friday, October 30, firing six missiles from a long-range strategic drone and triggering successive explosions and widespread power outages across the city. According to the Sudanese newspaper Al-Sudani, local sources reported hearing repeated explosions at different locations throughout Shendi, followed by electricity outages affecting most neighborhoods. The precise locations struck and the extent of casualties or material damage have not yet been confirmed. The attack comes amid a wave of drone strikes carried out by the militia over the past week against Sudanese cities and critical infrastructure, particularly electricity facilities. On October 26, drones targeted five electricity substations across Gedaref, Sennar, Gezira, and White Nile states. The following day, October 27, the Al-Markhiyat electricity substation in Omdurman was struck, causing widespread power disruptions. On October 28, further attacks targeted electricity infrastructure in Al-Managil, Gezira State, and fuel-pumping facilities in Haya, Red Sea State, causing additional damage and interruptions to essential services. The latest escalation follows a detailed technical presentation by the Sudanese government on October 28, during which military and intelligence officials presented evidence they said demonstrated that more than 75 drone attacks by the UAE-backed militia had been launched from Ethiopian territory. The presentation included recovered drone wreckage, electronic flight records extracted from navigation and autopilot systems, geographical coordinates, and maps tracing aircraft from their launch sites to targets inside Sudan. Officials identified Ethiopia's Bahir Dar Airport and other locations near the Sudanese border as launch sites used to attack Sudanese civilian infrastructure, including electricity substations. Khartoum held Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates responsible for facilitating these operations and reaffirmed Sudan's right to take measures to defend its sovereignty and national security. However, no technical information has yet been released establishing the launch location of the drone that struck Shendi or directly linking this particular attack to the Ethiopian launch sites identified during the government briefing. The continued drone attacks on Sudanese cities and electricity infrastructure raise serious concerns about civilian safety and the disruption of essential services, including hospitals, water supplies, bakeries, and agricultural production, as the country works to restore damaged infrastructure and support the return of displaced residents. The full extent of the damage caused by Friday's attack on Shendi remains unknown, with further information expected from local sources and relevant authorities. #Sudan #RSFisTerroristOrganization #UAEKillsSudanesePeople #UAESponsorsTerrorism

Over the past 6 months child malnutrion rates in Sudan have spiked significantly; this is partly due to failed rains that have made agricultural products in Sudan significantly more expensive. KAK has successfully treated thousands of children suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and we aim to treat thousands more; from what is a life threatening condition. These photos were taken this morning at a treatment centre just north of Khartoum. If you would like to support the important work we are doing the link is in the reply, in any case, please share widely. Thank you.
