Deadly attack on market in Sudan

A deadly drone strike on the al-Safiya market near Sodari, Sudan, has been reported amid ongoing civil war conflicts between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces.

A deadly drone attack occurred on a market in al-Safiya, located near the city of Sodari, Sudan. The attack took place on Sunday and involved multiple drones. According to a local organization, Acute Lawyers, which has been monitoring the ongoing civil war in Sudan, the situation remains dire for the civilian population affected by the relentless fighting between the rival forces.

The conflicts primarily feature the Sudanese army battling the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), leading to catastrophic consequences for civilians in the region. As the civil war has persisted for nearly three years, reports indicate that towns like Sodari have faced devastation, with markets becoming high-risk targets amid the violence.

Immediate confirmation of the perpetrators behind the drone attack remains elusive, further complicating the already volatile situation in the Northern Kordofan region. The lack of accountability and persistent hostilities threaten to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis, as the civilian population continues to bear the brunt of the escalating conflicts in Sudan.
