Multiple drone strikes kill dozens across Sudan in February

Drone strikes killed at least 97 civilians across four Sudanese states on 15 and 16 February. One drone hit a busy market in North Kordofan, killing 28 people and injuring 13. Another struck a shelter for displaced people in West Kordofan, killing 26 civilians, including 15 children. Two primary schools in Dilling were also hit. A hospital in Sennar state was struck, killing at least three people. Sudan's national army was blamed for some attacks, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces were blamed for others. The two groups have been fighting since April 2023. The UN has reported that drones caused over 80 percent of civilian deaths in Sudan between January and April 2026, killing at least 880 people in that period.
