US EditionSudanese paramilitary drone attack kills 50, including 33 children in Kordofan, doctor group says
The Rapid Support Forces' drone strike on a kindergarten in Kalogi killed at least 50 people including 33 children, with paramedics also targeted in a second attack, Sudan Doctors Network said.
- On Friday, a drone strike by the Rapid Support Forces hit a kindergarten in South Kordofan, killing 50 people including 33 children, the Sudan Doctors Network said.
- The strike follows a two-year escalation between the Rapid Support Forces and Sudanese military, with fighting focused on Kordofan states; since 2023, WHO says over 40,000 died and 12 million displaced.
- Paramedics on the scene were targeted in a second attack, the Sudan Doctors Network said, while the RSF and Abdelaziz al‑Hilu's SPLM‑N carried out suicide‑drone strikes on Kalogi town's hospital, government building, and a third civilian site on Thursday.
- Communications and internet outages have hindered casualty confirmation and aid reporting, aid groups said, while UNICEF Representative for Sudan Sheldon Yett called the killing of children a horrific violation and UN Human Rights Commissioner Volker Turk warned of new atrocities.
- Middle East Eye reported that human rights monitors say paramilitaries and allied rebels abducted 2 children last week in South Kordofan, with widespread abuses across the Kordofan states in recent weeks.
