KHARTOUM: Drone strikes on Sudan’s southern Kordofan region on Wednesday killed two children, wounded 12 others and severely damaged a United Nations warehouse full of famine aid, sources told AFP.
The Kordofan region, where deadly drone strikes have intensified, is currently the fiercest battlefield in the war raging since April 2023 between Sudan’s regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
A drone strike blamed on the RSF, on a school in North Kordofan’s El-Rahad, killed two children and injured 12 others, a medical source told AFP.
“I saw a dozen students injured,” Ahmed Moussa, an eyewitness to the attack, told AFP, adding that the drone had struck a traditional Qur’anic school.
A second drone strike hit a World Food Programme warehouse in the famine-hit South Kordofan state capital of Kadugli, causing “damage to the building and losses to the food supplies stored inside,” a UN source told AFP.
