A drone strike by Sudan’s army hits a traditional court session in North Darfur, killing 35 people, a rights group says. According to reports citing Emergency Lawyers and other NGO accounts, the attack occurs on Sunday in Garra al-Zawaya, in a village held by the Rapid Support Forces. The strike reportedly lands as civilians gather for local court hearings, resulting not only in deaths but also injuries to several others. Emergency Lawyers says the attack takes place during the afternoon. The BBC reports that the Sudanese army has not publicly commented on the allegations about civilian casualties, and no official response is included in the accounts. The other outlets present the same core claims: the target is a traditional court, the weapon is a drone, the location is a Rapid Support Forces-held area in North Darfur, and the death toll is reported as 35. The reports rely on NGO statements and do not include independent confirmation or details on whether any combatants were present at the site.
