Sudan: Drone strike on market in North Kordofan kills and injures children
UNICEF said a drone strike on a market in Ar Rahad, North Kordofan, killed at least two children and injured six others aged between six and 14. Four adults were also reportedly killed and more than 20 people injured in the attack.
The United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, said a drone strike on a market in the town of Ar Rahad, North Kordofan state, killed at least two children and injured six others between the ages of six and 14. Four adults were also reportedly killed in the attack, with more than 20 people injured overall.
No party has yet claimed responsibility for the strike. Sudan has faced repeated reports of civilian areas being hit amid months of internal conflict, and humanitarian organizations have continued to call for the protection of civilian populations.
UNICEF said it was particularly concerned about the strike's impact on children, noting that access to health services in the region remains limited. The agency said urgent support was needed to treat those wounded in the attack.
