A drone strike on a mosque in central Sudan killed two children and wounded 13 others early Wednesday, according to the Sudan Doctors Network, which said the attack was carried out by the Rapid Support Forces in the North Kordofan city of al-Rahad.

The Sudan Doctors Network, which monitors the conflict, said the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which are fighting the army, carried out the strike in al-Rahad city in North Kordofan.

A spokesperson from the doctors' network, Mohamed Elsheikh, told The Associated Press that the children had been attending a lesson at dawn.

Targeting children inside mosques "represents a dangerous escalation in the pattern of repeated violations against civilians,” the network added.

There was no immediate RSF comment.
