A drone strike on a mosque in al-Rahad city, North Kordofan, killed two children and injured 13 others early on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, according to the Sudan Doctors Network. The group alleged that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), currently fighting Sudan’s military, carried out the attack.
A spokesperson said the children were attending a dawn lesson at the time, describing the incident as a troubling escalation in violations against civilians. There was no immediate comment from the RSF.
Sudan’s conflict, which erupted in 2023 between the RSF and the army after tensions derailed a planned democratic transition following the 2019 uprising, has claimed at least 40,000 lives and displaced around 12 million people, according to the World Health Organization. Aid agencies warn the true toll could be significantly higher due to limited access to remote areas.
The doctors’ network said attacks on places of worship form part of a systematic pattern during the war. More than 15 mosques have reportedly been damaged or destroyed, alongside over 165 churches that have been destroyed or closed.
Separately, the International Rescue Committee reported that several hundred shelters were burned overnight in a displacement camp in Tawila, North Darfur, affecting about 500 households. The cause of the fire remains unclear. The camp has received civilians fleeing el-Fasher, which fell to the RSF in
October.
On Saturday, a separate RSF drone attack struck a vehicle carrying displaced families in central Sudan, killing at least 24 people, including eight children. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has described the Kordofan region as volatile and a focal point of hostilities as rival forces compete for strategic control.
