Drone Strike on Besieged Sudan Mosque Kills Dozens Amid Escalating Darfur Siege

  At least 70 worshippers were killed and dozens more injured when a drone strike hit a mosque during Friday prayers in El Fasher, the capital of Sudan’s North Darfur region, according to medical and aid sources. The attack, blamed on the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), reduced the mosque to rubble, with rescuers still pulling bodies from the debris. El Fasher — home to more than 260,000 civilians — has been under siege for over a year as the RSF battles Sudan’s army for control of the city, the military’s last stronghold in Darfur.

Israeli Airstrike in Sanaa Kills Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al‑Rahawi

 

Houthi fighters join protesters, as they demonstrate to show support to Palestinians in Gaza at Sabeen Square in Sanaa, Yemen


The Iranian‑backed Houthi movement has confirmed that its prime minister, Ahmed al‑Rahawi, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Thursday in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa. Several ministers also died in the strike, which targeted a government workshop reviewing the administration’s performance over the past year.

The attack comes amid escalating hostilities, with the Houthis repeatedly launching missiles and drones toward Israel and targeting shipping in the Red Sea in what they describe as solidarity with Palestinians during the war in Gaza.

Earlier in the week, Israeli strikes on Sanaa killed at least 10 people and wounded over 100, according to Houthi‑run health authorities. The death of al‑Rahawi, who had served as prime minister since August 2024, marks a significant blow to the rebel‑controlled government and could further inflame tensions in the region.
