A drone strike on the Wad al-Mahi area in the Blue Nile region of south-eastern Sudan has killed about 30 people, according to Al Jazeera. Women and children are among the dead. The strike hit close to a camp for displaced people, who have been forced to leave their homes.
The drone is reportedly linked to the RSF, the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group fighting Sudan's army. The connection to the group is described as reported rather than fully confirmed.
What is known about the attack
The source says dozens were killed, while the headline gives a specific figure of 30. Further details, such as the exact time of the strike, the number of wounded or any official statements, are not available in the information provided.
Why it matters
A strike near a camp for displaced people shows that attacks in Sudan also reach civilians who have already lost their homes. The presence of women and children among the victims highlights how exposed civilians are in the conflict between the army and the RSF. Information about the incident is still developing.
