[Sudan] Explosions/Remote violence: Air/drone strike

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. RSF forces and allied Arab militia reportedly conducted drone and artillery strikes on Abu Shouk IDP camp near Al Fasher in North Darfur on March 31, killing 9 civilians and wounding up to 15 others according to UN OCHA reporting. The attack represents continued violence in Sudan's ongoing civil conflict.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether violence spreads to economically significant areas of Sudan or disrupts cross-border trade routes.

Watch points

• Escalation of RSF operations around Al Fasher, which could affect regional stability in North Darfur
• Potential spillover effects into neighboring Chad or Libya if conflict intensity increases near border areas
• International humanitarian response that might influence regional access and movement patterns
