A drone strike hit a UN facility in war-torn Sudan on Saturday (December 13, 2025), killing six peacekeepers, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.
The strike hit the UN peacekeeping logistics base in the city of Kadugli, in the central region of Kordofan, he said in a statement.
Eight other peacekeepers were wounded in the strike. All the victims are Bangladeshi nationals, serving in the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei, UNISFA.

“Attacks targeting United Nations peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law,” said Mr. Guterres, who called for those responsible for the “unjustifiable” attack to be held accountable.
