Overview
- UN officials said a drone hit UNISFA’s logistics base in Kadugli, South Kordofan, killing six peacekeepers from Bangladesh and wounding eight others.
- Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack as unjustifiable and said assaults on peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law.
- The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Sovereignty Council blamed the Rapid Support Forces for the strike, while the RSF denied responsibility in a statement.
- The incident follows intensified fighting and expanding drone use across Kordofan, including a separate RSF drone attack reported in el‑Obeid that killed at least three people.
- The UK announced sanctions on four senior RSF commanders over atrocities in El Fasher, as a rights group reported nearly 1,300 documented cases of sexual violence largely attributed to RSF fighters and the war has displaced almost 13 million people.
