[Sudan] Explosions/Remote violence: Shelling/artillery/missile attack

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 6, 2025, Rapid Support Forces (RSF) backed by Arab militia conducted artillery shelling targeting El Fasher in North Darfur, Sudan, reportedly killing 2 civilians. This continues the pattern of violence in Sudan's ongoing civil conflict, with North Darfur remaining a contested region.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether the conflict spreads to economically significant areas of Sudan or neighboring countries.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of fighting around El Fasher and broader North Darfur region that could affect humanitarian corridors
• Track whether violence spreads southward toward oil-producing regions or eastward toward Red Sea coastal areas
