Radio Dabanga reported on 7 October 2026 that four women of the same family were killed in drone strikes on residential areas of Ed Damazin, the capital of Blue Nile state in Sudan, and that other people were injured. The account @eyeonSudan repeated the same report, crediting Radio Dabanga, eight minutes later. Arabic-language posts published earlier that morning by the account @SudanPlusNews attribute the attack to drones of the Rapid Support Forces and its ally the SPLM-N, say it hit residential areas in the morning of Wednesday, 7 October, and name the al-Hijra neighbourhood east of the city among the areas affected; an earlier post from the same account adds that the drones struck civilian homes in the city at dawn on Wednesday and also the home of the state finance minister. Radio Dabanga's article could not be read in full, so the figures here are limited to what the account's post and the @eyeonSudan post state. No army or Rapid Support Forces statement was available to this report.

The report rests on the X account of Radio Dabanga and a post by @eyeonSudan that credits the same outlet; both state the same four women killed in drone strikes on Ed Damazin, Blue Nile. The full Radio Dabanga article linked from the post could not be read, so no further figures and no victim names are claimed here. Attribution to Rapid Support Forces drones and the al-Hijra neighbourhood, and the day of the strike, come from Arabic-language posts by @SudanPlusNews published earlier on 7 October 2026, outside the interval this report covers. No army or Rapid Support Forces statement was read.
