Deadly attack and widespread fires... satellites document the atrocities of the Rapid Support Forces in "Misterih"
Satellite imagery reveals significant fire damage in Misterih, Sudan, following a deadly attack by Rapid Support Forces that led to numerous casualties.
Recent satellite images have exposed extensive fire damage in the town of Misterih, located in North Darfur, Sudan, following an attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This assault has reportedly resulted in numerous deaths and injuries, as confirmed by local medical reports. The imagery shows stark changes in the landscape, indicating that areas previously stable have become severely damaged, with buildings burned and dark patches visible across the town.
According to open-source intelligence comparisons, satellite images taken before and after the February 22-23 attack showcase a transformation in Misterih, where large sections that appeared intact were significantly charred the following day. This destruction coincided with local testimonies describing the RSF's targeted strikes, particularly on civilian infrastructure, including multiple bombings of the local hospital and residential areas, intent on causing widespread harm.
Furthermore, the dark patches from the fires extended into residential neighborhoods and the surrounding area of the local high school, aligning with reports from the Sudanese Revolutionary Awakening Council. The coordinated attack emphasizes the RSF's aggressive military strategy in the region, heightening concerns over civilian safety and the humanitarian situation in North Darfur.
