Sudan Drone Strikes Kill 79 in Kalogi, Including 43 Children

Conflicting death tolls underscore disputed responsibility in a worsening environment for aid access.

Overview

  • Local authorities say drones struck a kindergarten and a hospital in army-held Kalogi in South Kordofan.
  • Kalogi’s administrator blamed the RSF and allied SPLM‑N for the attack, an attribution not independently verified.
  • The Sudanese foreign ministry reported 79 dead with 43 children, while local groups cited about 80 deaths and the African Union said the toll exceeds 100.
  • UNICEF earlier confirmed more than ten child fatalities, highlighting uncertainty over exact numbers and ages.
  • The African Union condemned the killings as WFP reported an attack on an aid truck, and the RSF accused the army of blocking relief and striking the Adre crossing; the army has not commented.
