The United Nations has issued a stark warning that the use of drones in Sudan is resulting in massive civilian casualties.
- Over 50 people killed in just two days of air strikes targeting markets and shelters.
- At least 15 victims were children, highlighting the tragic loss of innocent life in this ongoing war.
Key Incidents

These attacks occur along the front lines of Sudan’s nearly three‑year conflict between the army and a militia. Both sides have already displaced millions, creating a severe humanitarian crisis.
UN Call to Action
The UN chief has called for an immediate halt to all attacks on civilians and civilian sites. He urges all parties involved to protect people—especially children—from further harm.
