Deadly Drone Strikes Kill Civilians, Displaced Families in Sudan's West Kordofan

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has expressed deep concern over deadly drone strikes in West Kordofan State, Sudan, on October 9. One strike hit a building sheltering displaced families in An Nuhud, killing at least 12 civilians, including women and children. Another strike in Ghubaish town reportedly killed five civilians, including three children, in a residential neighborhood also hosting displaced families. These attacks highlight the alarming increase in drone strikes across Sudan, exposing vulnerable civilians to further violence and suffering.
