Sudanese drone attack killed more than 150 people in Abyei market, official says

Sudanese officials claim that Sudan's military conducted drone strikes on a market in the disputed Abyei region, resulting in over 150 deaths. The Abyei region, located between South Sudan and Sudan, has been the focus of a long-standing dispute over its administration. The attack on Monday pushed the total death toll from recent attacks to more than 250, highlighting the severity of the ongoing conflict.

Yohana Akol Ngor, caretaker minister of information in Abyei, reported that the death toll had risen from 73 to 153, though it is expected to increase further. The aftermath of the strikes was disastrous, with buildings and vehicles left charred and damaged. Sudan's armed forces have not yet provided evidence to support their claim of responsibility for the attack.
