Drone Strike Hits Kindergarten in Sudan’s South Kordofan, Dozens Reported Dead

Overview

• A Sudanese doctors’ network reports about 50 people were killed in Kalogi, including 33 children, with the toll likely to rise due to communication outages.
• The same group says paramedics who responded after the first blast were hit in a second strike.
• The army and the doctors blamed the Rapid Support Forces for the Kalogi attack, while the RSF did not address that strike and accused the army of a separate drone attack in Darfur, with independent verification limited.
• UNICEF’s Sheldon Yett urged an immediate halt to attacks on children and called for safe, unhindered humanitarian access.
• Fighting has shifted to the Kordofan region after the RSF seized el-Fasher, with hundreds of recent civilian deaths reported and the WHO estimating more than 40,000 killed and 12 million displaced since the war began.
