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

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. RSF forces reportedly conducted artillery shelling in the Al Fitahab district of Omdurman, Khartoum on April 17, 2025, killing three civilians. This represents continued urban warfare in Sudan's capital region as the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces persists.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether fighting intensifies around Khartoum's broader commercial infrastructure.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of urban combat in Khartoum that could affect the capital's remaining commercial operations
• Track whether artillery exchanges expand beyond residential areas to target critical infrastructure or transportation networks
