Drone strikes rock Sudan's El-Obeid after army secures highway

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Drone strikes blamed on paramilitary forces shook the Sudanese flashpoint of El-Obeid on Monday, hours after the army regained control of the city's highway to the capital Khartoum. The army's rival, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), have for months amassed troops around El-Obeid, attempting to encircle it ahead of an apparent large-scale assault.
