Drone Attack Near Southern Sudan Market Kills Scores
A medical source said 47 wounded were taken to Al-Mujlad, where 30 died, as the attack deepened Sudan's civilian toll.
- On Sunday evening, a drone strike in the town of Al-Dibab, Sudan, killed 80 people, mostly commuters gathering at a transport hub to return to their villages.
- The attack occurred in West Kordofan, a region under Rapid Support Forces control, amid the ongoing conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese army that erupted in April 2023.
- Witness Ahmed Abakar Wadi reported the drone struck twice, 10 minutes apart, hitting "on a transport hub where people gather to travel back to their villages after the market day ends."
- Medical sources reported 47 people were transported to Al-Mujlad for treatment, where 30 of them died from injuries. The RSF-declared administration, Tasis, accused the Sudanese army of carrying out the strike.
- The strike represents one of the deadliest single attacks since the conflict began, as drone strikes have become the leading cause of civilian deaths in Sudan, where the broader conflict has killed more than 200,000 people.
