Drone strike kills 11 civilians at Sudan market as aerial attacks escalate

Sunday, 7 June 2026, 06:13 · 1 min read

A drone strike on the main market in Abu Zaeima, a town in Sudan's North Kordofan state (a central region contested between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces), killed at least 11 civilians and wounded dozens more on Saturday, according to the rights group Emergency Lawyers. The attack came less than 24 hours after similar drone strikes hit nearby villages and a civilian vehicle, and was followed the same day by a strike on a fuel station in el-Obeid, the state capital, wounding four more people. Neither side has claimed responsibility, but the strikes add to a devastating toll — the UN recorded at least 880 civilian deaths from drone attacks across Sudan between January and April alone, amid a war now in its fourth year that has displaced nearly 13 million people.
