28 killed in drone strikes on market in Sudan's North Kordofan State

At least 28 people were killed when drones struck a crowded market Sunday evening in Sudan's North Kordofan state, local volunteers and a medical official said Monday.



The Sudanese Emergency Lawyers, a local rights group, said drones hit Al-Safia market northeast of Soudari, killing 28 people and wounding dozens more. The toll could rise, the group said.



The attack took place while the market was packed with civilians, including women, children, and elderly people, the group said, calling it a "humanitarian tragedy." The group did not say who was responsible for the attack.



The group urged both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to stop drone attacks, avoid targeting civilian areas, and comply with international humanitarian law.
