"Double-Tap" Drone Strike Kills Eight Civilians in Sudan's North Kordofan
A pair of drone strikes in the town of Sowdari killed eight civilians and wounded dozens on Thursday. According to the Emergency Lawyers rights group, the first drone targeted a group of civilians traveling through the desert; a second strike then hit the rescuers who rushed to the scene. The incident highlights the devastating impact of drone warfare, which has reportedly become the leading cause of civilian deaths in Sudan, accounting for 80% of fatalities in early 2026.
