Sudan paramilitary drone strike kills 41 near Ethiopia, rights group says

The UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said it was "appalled by horrifying reports." It said initial reports suggested most of the casualties were women and children.

The Sudanese army and paramilitary forces including the RSF have been locked in a power struggle since 2023, a conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands and displaced more than 14 million from their homes. It has also created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, with millions of people needing medical help.

Ocha said in a statement that the area reportedly struck on Friday had been "under sustained atttack in recent weeks, displacing thousands of civilians and exposing many more to grave harm."
