Drone strike in Sudan’s Darfur kills 12, including children

KHARTOUM: A drone strike on the paramilitary-controlled town of Kutum in Sudan’s North Darfur state has killed 12 civilians, including six children, a medical source and local activists said Thursday.
A medical source told AFP that those brought to the town’s hospital included 12 dead, among them six children, including three secondary school students. Sixteen others were injured, including women and children, and are receiving treatment.
The El-Fasher Resistance Committee, a pro-democracy group, said the strike on Wednesday hit the Al-Salama neighborhood near Al?Um Girls’ School, blaming the Sudanese army, which has been at war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces since April 2023.
