At least 28 civilians were killed following two separate drone strikes in Sudan’s Darfur and Kordofan regions, medical officials confirmed on Thursday.
The deadliest incident occurred on Wednesday in the town of Saraf Omra, located in North Darfur, where a strike hit a local market.
According to health workers, the attack claimed the lives of 22 people, including an infant, and left 17 others injured.
A second strike on Wednesday targeted a truck travelling along a road in North Kordofan.
Medical sources at a hospital in El-Rahad reported that six bodies were recovered from the scene, three of which were severely charred, while ten other passengers sustained injuries.
Local sources have attributed this second attack to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
These latest casualties underscore the rising toll on non-combatants as the conflict in Sudan continues to escalate.
With critical infrastructure and public gathering spaces increasingly caught in the crossfire, humanitarian organisations warn that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles is significantly worsening the security situation for residents in the country’s western and central regions.
