Story summary

A drone strike in Sudan, near the border with Ethiopia, killed at least 40 people, including children, according to Emergency Lawyers, a rights group monitoring the conflict. The attack occurred in the Abu Shandi area within Sudan's Blue Nile province and was blamed on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary unit involved in ongoing battles with Sudan’s military since 2023. The United Nations expressed deep concern over the strike. The current conflict, which began last year, has already claimed at least 150,000 lives according to ACLED, though actual figures are likely higher due to underreporting.
