Overview
- A drone launched three munitions at a UN facility in Kadugli, South Kordofan, hitting the Bangladesh UNISFA battalion and igniting a UN storage site.
- All those killed were Bangladeshi peacekeepers with the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei.
- The Sudanese Armed Forces accused the Rapid Support Forces of carrying out the strike, a charge the RSF has denied.
- The UN reported eight wounded peacekeepers, while earlier local updates cited seven, underscoring uncertainty as verification proceeds.
- Sudan’s Sovereign Council condemned the attack and urged international protection and accountability, as António Guterres called the strike unjustifiable and pressed for a cease-fire and prosecutions.
