A drone strike on a crowded market in Sudan’s West Kordofan kills at least 28 people and injures dozens more, according to a local rights group and medical sources cited by witnesses. The strike hits the town of Ghubaysh, where casualties are taken to the town’s hospital for treatment. One report says 28 people die and 23 others are injured, while another says the death toll is 28 with “dozens” wounded, reflecting differences in reporting from sources on the exact number of injuries. The attack is described as among the deadliest recent attacks on civilians amid Sudan’s ongoing war that began in April 2023. West Kordofan is said to be controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which is in conflict with the Sudanese military. The reports do not attribute responsibility for the drone strike, and no immediate official confirmation or details on targeting are provided in the accounts summarized here.
