Sudan's army has been accused of launching several drone strikes, resulting in over 300 deaths, including mourners heading to a funeral. In West Kordofan state, the death toll reached 150, while 153 people were killed in Abyei, a disputed border region between Sudan and South Sudan. The military source attributed the Abyei attack to the army, claiming the fuel market targeted was a supply site for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
This attack has heightened tensions between the two nations, who jointly administer Abyei, as they both assert ownership over the oil-rich territory. Foreign countries supplying both the army and RSF with drones have escalated the conflict, which has caused a dire humanitarian crisis, with 20 million people facing acute hunger and a growing risk of famine in regions like Darfur and Greater Kordofan.
