  • Six United Nations peacekeepers from Bangladesh were killed in a drone attack on their camp in Sudan’s South Kordofan region, with several others reported injured. The UN mission condemned the attack, which Khartoum attributed to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
  • This incident highlights the ongoing violence and instability in Sudan, particularly affecting international peacekeeping efforts. The loss of peacekeepers raises concerns about the safety of UN personnel and the effectiveness of peacekeeping missions in conflict zones.
  • The attack is part of a troubling pattern of escalating violence in Sudan, where recent drone strikes have targeted civilians, including children, in schools and hospitals. The RSF's involvement in these attacks underscores the challenges faced by both the Sudanese army and international forces in restoring peace, as well as the urgent need for effective humanitarian responses amid ongoing conflict.
