A field commander of the Rapid Support Militia, accompanied by more than a dozen members of his escorts, was killed in an air strike by Sudanese army drones in the locality of Gbeish in West Kordofan state, according to local sources.
The sources said that the strike targeted a group of the militia near an area known as “Boko architecture”, shortly after they were inside a local restaurant, killing the targeted commander and a number of members of his guard immediately.
It added that the attack also resulted in minor injuries to a number of restaurant staff as a result of flying shrapnel following the explosion.
Sporadic areas of West Kordofan state are witnessing an escalation in military operations between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Militia, amid increasing reliance on drones to carry out field strikes.
