United Nations officials said they are deeply concerned that an ongoing drone attack in Sudan is targeting civilian areas. The strikes mark the latest phase of a two-year civil war between the country's army and the Rapid Support Forces.

Officials said the attacks have damaged power and water infrastructure, deepening a humanitarian crisis that already affects millions of civilians. The UN has called on all parties to halt strikes on civilian areas.

The international community has warned that greater diplomatic effort is needed to end the fighting in Sudan. A comprehensive ceasefire has not yet been achieved.
