At Least 50 Killed Including 33 Children in Drone Attack on Sudan Kindergarten
MILITARY signal, reported in SU, from silverbirdtv.com, with negative sentiment. Locations: Adre, OuaddaïD, Chad, Darfur.
What Happened
A drone attack struck a kindergarten in Kalogi, South Kordofan region, on Thursday, killing at least 50 people including 33 children, according to medical and military sources. The Sudan Doctors’ Network and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of carrying out the strike. The RSF countered that the Sudanese army launched a separate drone attack on a market and fuel depot at the Adre border crossing with Chad in Darfur on Friday. Sudan has been in conflict since April , 2023, between the RSF and the army following a collapse in a power-sharing agreement. The war has caused severe humanitarian crisis with millions displaced and famine risks rising.
Why it matters
The attack adds to Sudan’s escalating humanitarian crisis, with at least 50 killed in a single incident including 33 children. The RSF and SAF blame each other for separate drone strikes, complicating accountability. With restricted access and communication blackouts, independent verification is difficult. The conflict has displaced millions and threatens widespread famine.
