[Dabanga] El Hamadi / Delling / Dibebad / Butana / Port Suda -- At least 18 civilians, including six women and children, were reportedly killed and 13 others injured on Thursday morning after the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and aligned militias attacked the village of El Hamadi in South Kordofan, according to the Emergency Lawyers Group. The assault on El Hamadi, described as a key step in the army's push to break the months long siege of Delling, a city in northern South Kordofan, marks a significant escalation in the conflict.
