Nearly 300 Killed in Sudan Drone Strikes

Drone strikes in Sudan have killed nearly 300 civilians across West Kordofan and the contested Abyei region. In West Kordofan, the Sudanese army targeted a funeral procession, while a separate strike on a marketplace in Abyei resulted in 153 deaths according to local officials.

The violence marks an escalation in the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The United Nations has condemned the attacks on civilians and the disruption of essential services, warning that millions face starvation. South Sudan has recalled its ambassador to Sudan in protest of the attack in the shared border region.
