The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) conducted its first drone strikes on the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Chad, striking a 200-vehicle convoy 50 miles west of the Sudanese border, raising tensions with its neighbor. The drones reportedly destroyed dozens of vehicles. The SAF then attacked the remnants of the RSF convoy.
