At Least 60 Killed in Drone Strike in Besieged Sudan City
Date: October 11, 2025
At least 60 people have been killed and dozens more injured in a deadly drone strike on a besieged city in Sudan, according to local reports. The attack marks one of the deadliest incidents in recent months as fighting. Between rival military factions continues to devastate the nation.
Growing Violence Amid Power Struggle
The strike reportedly targeted a densely populated neighborhood where civilians had taken shelter from ongoing clashes. Witnesses describe scenes of chaos and destruction as rescue teams worked through the night to retrieve victims from the rubble.
The Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been locked in a brutal conflict since last year, turning major cities into battlegrounds and pushing millions from their homes. The latest attack underscores how the war has evolved, with the increased use of drones heightening civilian casualties.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
Humanitarian organizations have warned that the situation in Sudan is worsening, with food shortages, lack of medical care, and restricted access for aid workers. The United Nations has repeatedly called for a ceasefire, but efforts to broker peace have so far failed.
“The use of drones in crowded areas is causing unimaginable suffering,” said a UN spokesperson, urging both sides to prioritize civilian safety.
International Reaction and Calls for Accountability
The international community has condemned the attack, with rights groups demanding investigations into possible war crimes. Neighboring countries fear the conflict could further destabilize the region if left unchecked.
Despite multiple peace talks, violence continues to flare across Sudan, leaving millions in urgent need of humanitarian assistance and a path toward lasting peace.
