Drone Strikes in Sudan Kill Dozens and Cause Widespread Power Outages
Sudan's ongoing conflict between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has involved drone strikes causing significant casualties and infrastructure damage. A drone attack on a market in Nyala killed 21 people and injured over 40, while coordinated RSF drone strikes on multiple power stations in eastern states caused widespread electricity outages. These attacks have disrupted essential services amid a severe hunger crisis affecting millions. Both sides have used drones extensively, resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties in recent weeks.
