Drone strike kills 4 women in Sudan’s Blue Nile state
A drone strike on Wednesday in Sudan's Blue Nile state killed at least four women and wounded dozens of others, according to a rights group. The attack targeted homes and a mosque in the Hijra neighborhood of Damazin, the capital of Southeastern Blue Nile province. Emergency Lawyers, which monitors the conflict, blamed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces for the strike, which has been ongoing in the region for over three years.
The strike follows another airstrike on humanitarian trucks in South Kordofan province, which killed a driver and wounded others. U.N. officials condemned the attacks, emphasizing the ongoing suffering of civilians in Sudan, where the war has claimed at least 150,000 lives and displaced over 12 million people, creating the world's largest humanitarian crisis.
