Dozens die in more drone strikes on Sudan's Kordofan
At least 57 civilians were killed in drone strikes on markets, hospitals, schools, and shelters, severely disrupting aid efforts, UN sources reported.
- Wednesday, a surge in drone strikes in the Kordofan region has killed more than 50 civilians over two days and hampered aid operations, analysts and humanitarian workers said.
- Over the past year, the military increased drone and airstrike use in Kordofan, with new foreign-supplied drones enabling precision strikes, said Jalale Getachew Birru.
- Specific targeting includes hospitals, markets, homes and schools, with the army carrying out 83 strikes causing 568 deaths, RSF conducting 66 strikes killing 288, and ACLED reporting 163 civilian strikes last year.
- The World Health Organization reports at least 40,000 killed and 12 million displaced, while a U.N. convoy reached Dilling and Kadugli with aid for more than 130,000 people.
- Two weeks ago, the military said it broke the RSF siege of Kadugli and Dilling but analysts say cities remain encircled as the army seeks routes into Darfur and bombing may increase.
