A drone strike near a market in southern Sudan on Sunday evening killed at least 80 people, mostly commuters gathering to travel home, according to witnesses and a medical source. The attack in al-Dibab, West Kordofan, is one of the deadliest single strikes since the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted in April 2023.

The Sudanese army said it killed dozens of Rapid Support Forces (RSF) fighters in air attacks on Nyala, South Darfur, on Friday, but the paramilitary group countered that the strikes killed 30 civilians at a livestock market, highlighting the intense dispute over civilian casualties in the ongoing civil war.
