What happened

A suspected RSF drone attack struck Al Dabbah's electricity substation and nearby military positions late on 15 July, triggering a fire and cutting power across the town. Local sources told Sudan Tribune that a drone fired approximately four missiles. The locality security committee confirmed that the substation was hit and said a guard sustained minor injuries and was hospitalized. The committee accused the RSF of systematically targeting civilian infrastructure, while independent reporting retained the more cautious description of a suspected RSF strike. No independently verified weapon count, equipment-loss assessment or restoration time was published.
