The United Nations has reported that drone strikes in Sudan have killed at least 1,000 civilians in 2026, highlighting a sharp escalation in the use of unmanned aerial weapons in the country's ongoing civil war. The conflict, which erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, has already displaced millions and triggered one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The rising civilian death toll from drone attacks underscores growing international concern over the targeting of populated areas and the lack of accountability for aerial strikes in the war-torn nation.
