Drone strike on UN facility in war-torn Sudan leaves six peacekeepers dead
  • A drone strike on a United Nations peacekeeping logistics base in Kadugli, Sudan, resulted in the deaths of six Bangladeshi peacekeepers and injuries to eight others. UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the attack, labeling it as 'unjustifiable' and suggesting it could constitute a war crime.
  • This incident underscores the escalating violence in Sudan, particularly against peacekeeping forces, which complicates the already precarious security situation in the region and raises concerns about the safety of international personnel.
  • The ongoing conflict in Sudan has led to a severe humanitarian crisis, with millions affected by violence and displacement. The international community faces increasing pressure to respond to the deteriorating conditions, as highlighted by recent calls for urgent action to address the widespread suffering and the need for accountability for atrocities committed during the civil war.
