Drone strike on central Sudan market kills 11: rights group | World News
A drone strike hit a market in central Sudan on Saturday, killing 11 civilians and wounding dozens more, a rights group said, as escalating aerial attacks deepen the toll of one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
The attack targeted the main market in Abu Zaeima, a paramilitary-controlled town in North Kordofan state, according to the Emergency Lawyers, a rights group that has documented abuses since fighting erupted in April 2023 between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces .
The group said the casualty figures could rise, but did not specify who carried out the attack. Neither side has commented.
Emergency Lawyers said similar drone attacks had struck nearby villages and civilian vehicles less than a day earlier.
Two witnesses told AFP that another drone hit a fuel station later on Saturday in El-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan, which has been partially encircled by RSF forces for months.
A medical source at a hospital there said the facility received four wounded civilians.
The attacks followed a deadly week in the broader Kordofan region.

At least 28 civilians were killed when drones struck a busy market in central Sudan, a rights group said Monday, as fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) intensified along one of the war’s most contested fronts, AFP reported.
The Emergency Lawyers, a group that monitors violations during the conflict, said several drones hit the al-Safiya market on Sunday in an area controlled by the RSF near the town of Sodari in North Kordofan. The group said the market was crowded at the time of the attack and warned that the casualty figure could rise.
Sodari is located in a remote part of northern Kordofan, where desert trade routes converge. The town lies about 230 kilometres (132 miles) northwest of El-Obeid, the North Kordofan state capital, which the RSF has sough…

A drone strike on a market in central Sudan has killed at least 11 people and wounded dozens more, according to a local rights group, as aerial attacks continue to intensify in the country’s ongoing war.
Emergency Lawyers said the strike hit the main market in Abu Zaeima, a town controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in North Kordofan State. The group, which has documented abuses since Sudan’s conflict erupted in April 2023, warned that the death toll could rise.
The organization did not identify who carried out the attack, and neither the Sudanese army nor the RSF has claimed responsibility.
Emergency Lawyers said the market strike came less than 24 hours after similar drone attacks hit nearby villages and a civilian vehicle. It condemned the repeated targeting of civilians, villages, and public transport, calling it a clear disregard for human life and international humanitarian law.
Witnesses also reported that another drone struck a fuel station later the same day in el-Obeid, the capital of Nor…
