The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan have accused the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) of launching an attack on a border town near Chad, utilizing drones at the Adre border crossing. This event is part of the ongoing conflict in Sudan, now in its third year.
The Adre border crossing serves as a crucial link for humanitarian aid between Sudan and Chad. The RSF claims the attack was directed at the Adikon Gate, a key entry point for aid and commercial supplies. This passage has been vital in delivering assistance to civilians affected by the ongoing war.
Chad has been a refuge for thousands of Sudanese fleeing the conflict, as the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate.
The RSF asserts that the attack on the crossing aimed to obstruct humanitarian aid, exacerbating the plight of civilians. They also criticized what they perceive as international silence on these violations, which they argue encourages further aggression against civilians and infrastructure.

No reports have been provided regarding casualties or the extent of damage caused by the attack.
In related incidents, RSF attacks in the city of Kalogi, South Kordofan state, have resulted in 114 fatalities, including numerous children, with approximately 71 individuals injured. The RSF reportedly targeted a kindergarten and other sites, with further attacks occurring as civilians attempted to provide aid.
Overall, the death toll from the Sudanese conflict is estimated to exceed 100,000, with nearly 12 million displaced individuals. The United Nations reports that over 24 million Sudanese are currently facing severe hunger.
Efforts to negotiate peace have stalled despite international attention. The RSF has declared a unilateral ceasefire but continues to conduct attacks. The SAF has called for the RSF to withdraw from occupied territories.
