Airstrikes in Sudan Kill Dozens Near Ethiopia and Egypt Borders Amid Conflict
Recent airstrikes in Sudan have caused significant civilian casualties amid ongoing conflict. A drone strike by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) near the Ethiopia border killed at least 40 people, mostly women and children, near a displacement camp in Blue Nile state. Separately, airstrikes on a gold mine near Sudan's border with Egypt reportedly killed between 13 and 72 miners, with investigations ongoing. The conflict between Sudan's army and RSF continues to displace millions and exacerbate humanitarian crises.
