At least two people have been killed and 56 others wounded following a series of drone strikes in Sudan’s Darfur region, according to Médecins Sans Frontières.
The medical charity said the attacks, which it attributed to the Sudanese Armed Forces, involved five separate strikes and were recorded as the country’s conflict enters its fourth year.
MSF, which operates across several parts of Sudan, said the incidents highlight growing risks to civilians amid ongoing fighting between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
“These attacks demonstrate a complete disregard for civilian life,” the organisation said, urging all parties involved in the conflict to ensure the protection of non-combatants.
The escalation comes amid increasing use of drone warfare in Sudan. The United Nations Human Rights Office has reported a sharp rise in such attacks this year, with more than 500 civilians killed between January and mid-March.
Children have been particularly affected. A spokesperson for UNICEF said drones account for nearly 80% of reported child casualties, with at least 245 children killed or injured in the first three months of 2026.
The conflict, which has devastated large parts of the country, continues to strain humanitarian operations and worsen conditions for civilians, especially in regions like Darfur.
