Lethal Drone Attack Kills Six in RSF-Controlled Al-Daein as Sudan Conflict Enters Fourth Year
A drone strike on the paramilitary-controlled city of al-Daein in Sudan's Darfur region killed six people and wounded five others on May 12. The attack occurred as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) face increasing internal defections and intense aerial bombardment from the Sudanese Armed Forces. The conflict, now in its fourth year, has seen a surge in drone warfare, which UN officials warn is now the leading cause of civilian deaths.
