Summary

On October 18, 2026, drone strikes attributed to Sudan's army hit the Amiet Common Market. The attack resulted in 153 deaths and 30 injuries. The incident occurred in the contested Abyei region, where satellite imagery later confirmed extensive burnt buildings at the site. The market, which serves as a commercial hub, was targeted amidst ongoing regional tensions. Emergency responders faced significant challenges in recovering victims due to persistent fires caused by the strikes, and survivors were transported to Ameth Bek Hospital for medical treatment.
