Sudan: At Least 15 Children Killed in Drone Attack

In Sudan, at least 15 children have been killed and 10 others injured in a drone attack on a displacement camp in the Kordofan region, the epicenter of the ongoing war. UNICEF condemns the unchecked violence and the increase in drone attacks in recent months. Kordofan, rich in oil and fertile land, is the most contested front line in the nearly three-year conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces. The attack took place at the Al Sunut camp, in western Kordofan, and highlights the tragic situation of civilians trapped in the conflict. UNICEF expresses deep concern for the protection of children in this critical situation.
