Drone Strike on Sudanese Home Kills 13, Including Eight Children

A drone strike hit a residential home in Sudan on Tuesday, killing at least 13 people. Among the dead were eight children, according to local medical sources. The attack occurred in the city of el-Obeid. It is located in North Kordofan state, an area that has seen intense fighting. Sudan has been in a state of civil war for over a year. The conflict is between the national army and a powerful paramilitary group. Both sides have been accused of repeatedly using drones and other aerial bombs in civilian areas. This incident is one of the deadliest single strikes on civilians in recent months. It highlights the ongoing toll the war is taking on non-combatants, especially children. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
