A drone attack in Sudan’s Dilling city on Tuesday killed seven people, including three children, and injured thirteen others, according to a medical source cited by AFP. The injured were taken to Dilling Hospital after several drones struck the city in South Kordofan region.
The Sudanese army, which has been fighting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for three years, recaptured Dilling in January after defeating RSF units there. On Tuesday, the army-aligned foreign ministry condemned what it described as planned RSF attacks on civilian homes and infrastructure in Dilling, El Obeid, and Kosti in White Nile state.
The conflict between Sudan’s regular army and the RSF has already killed thousands and displaced more than 11 million people, with fighting intensifying in Kordofan following RSF’s capture of El-Fasher in Darfur.
