Dozens Killed in Airstrikes Near Sudan-Egypt Border
Airstrikes on a remote gold mine near the Sudan-Egypt border killed dozens of people. Videos show munitions that appear to be Egyptian.
Airstrikes on a gold mine in Sudan's border area with Egypt, in northeastern Africa, have killed dozens of people, The New York Times reports. The mine is in a remote location, hundreds of miles from the front lines of Sudan's devastating civil war.
Videos from the site show what appear to be Egyptian munitions. The report does not say who carried out the strikes and does not confirm any Egyptian role. It refers only to what the video footage appears to show.
The incident matters because it suggests that violence is reaching places far from the main fighting in Sudan. It also raises questions about possible involvement by a neighboring country in the conflict. The available text gives no further details on the casualties, how the attack unfolded or who was responsible.
