Drone Strike on Sudan Nursery Kills at Least 50, Including 33 Children

Responsibility is disputed, with doctors and the army naming the RSF during a communications blackout that blocks independent verification.

Overview

  • Local medical network reports the strike hit a nursery in Kalogi, Kordofan, on Thursday, resulting in heavy child casualties.
  • The Sudanese army and the Rete dei Medici Sudanesi attribute the attack to the Rapid Support Forces, which deny involvement.
  • The RSF accuse the army of a drone strike the following day on a market and fuel depot near Adre on the Chad border in Darfur, with casualties still unclear.
  • Communications were cut for hours in the affected area, complicating efforts to confirm details and establish an authoritative death toll.
  • Fighting has intensified in oil-producing parts of Kordofan as the humanitarian crisis deepens, with Amnesty citing alleged RSF war crimes at Zamzam camp and widespread civilian harm.
