A drone attack in Kalogi, South Kordofan, Sudan, reportedly struck a kindergarten on Thursday, killing at least 50 people, including 33 children. The Sudan Doctors' Network and the Sudanese army accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of the attack, though the RSF has not commented. The RSF, in turn, accused the army of a drone attack on Friday in the Darfur region, targeting a market and a fuel depot at the Adre border crossing with Chad. These reports could not be independently verified. The attacks are part of the ongoing conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese army, which began in April 2023. UNICEF condemned the attack on the kindergarten, calling it a "horrific violation of children's rights" and urged all parties to stop attacks and allow humanitarian access.
