Drone Strike on Sudanese Home Kills 13, Mostly Children

A drone strike hit a residential home in the Sudanese city of el-Obeid, killing at least 13 people, according to local medical sources. Eight of the victims were children, the medics reported. The attack occurred as clashes intensify between the Sudanese military and rival paramilitary forces across the country. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, has become common in the year-long conflict. However, strikes causing high civilian casualties in urban areas draw severe condemnation. Neither side has immediately claimed responsibility for the el-Obeid attack. The city is a key strategic hub, controlling a major route to the capital, Khartoum. The ongoing war has created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with millions displaced and facing severe hunger.
