Summary
More than 10 civilians were killed and at least 17 others wounded when a drone struck a vehicle carrying passengers in Sudan’s West Darfur state. The head of the state’s civil administration, Tijani al-Tahir Karshoum, stated that the strike occurred in El Geneina, the state capital, and targeted a vehicle carrying civilians, including women and children, who were traveling to the city to shop. Karshoum claimed that the drone was a Turkish-made Bayraktar operated by the Sudanese army, although Radio Tamazuj could not independently verify this. The attack has been condemned by local officials, who are calling on international organizations to take action against the targeting of civilians in Darfur and Kordofan using drones.
