JAKARTA - The drone attack targeted a crowd of military parades held in Tamboul City, the state of Al-Jazira, Sudan on Wednesday, August 13.

Witnesses told AFP the incident caused the anti-drone system to work against attacks.

Meanwhile, hundreds of residents who actually watched the military parade in the square fled.

Until this news was revealed there were no direct reports of casualties from the attack.

This drone strike is the first in the state of Al-Jazira in recent months. Neither the regular army nor its rivals, the paramilitary RSF troops made any comments regarding the drone strike.

Al-Jazira is the state that became the center of Sudan's agricultural industry before the war.

The area was largely calm and peaceful but changed instantly after the Sudanese regular army seized it from the Paramilitary Rapid Support Force or RSF in January 2025.

According to the United Nations (UN), about one million people after the military bantrokan occurred in Al-Jazira fled and have now returned to their homes.

The military parade in Tamboul is scheduled to be attended by Abu Aqla Kaykal, commander of Sudan's Shield Forces, an armed group that is currently allied with regular soldiers.

Sudan's Shield Forces were also accused of being the perpetrators of atrocities while fighting and allied with RSF troops initially and then defected in support of regular soldiers.

Abu Aqla's defection action Kaykal Cs late last year paved the way for their achievements in military action in Sudan in recent months.
