Drone Attack in Sudan Kills 10, Including Five Family Members

At least ten people, including five members of the same family, died in a drone strike west of Omdurman, Sudan, while en route to a wedding. The attack, which occurred on Wednesday, has been attributed to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Sudan's Doctors' Network, an independent organization monitoring civilian casualties, stated that the drone targeted the vehicle carrying the victims. The network condemned the act as a "violation of international humanitarian law" and described it as a "deliberate" strike carried out with a "guided drone." They urged international organizations to intervene and pressure the RSF leadership to cease such attacks on civilians.

These allegations have not been independently verified, and the RSF has not yet commented on the incident. The ongoing conflict in Sudan, now in its fourth year, has resulted in approximately 400,000 deaths, according to U.S. estimates. The war has also led to severe food insecurity, with over 21.2 million people facing acute hunger, and has displaced 14 million others, creating the world's largest displacement and hunger crisis, as reported by the UN.
