Over 1,150 people were displaced from villages in Um برو locality, North Darfur, between October 29 and 31. The International Organization for Migration's Displacement Tracking Matrix reported the movement from Qary, Muzbid, Awari, Tari, and Um Haraz. Rising insecurity prompted the displacement.

Affected families moved to other locations within Um برو locality or crossed the border into Chad. This displacement occurred after another incident reported on October 24.

Separately, drone attacks attributed to the Rapid Support Forces on Sunday disabled the power stations in El Dabba and Abu Hamad in northern Sudan. This cut electricity to the two cities and surrounding areas.
