A drone attack on the town of Kalogi, in Sudan's South Kordofan region, is said to have hit a kindergarten and killed at least 50 people, including 33 children. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary group battling the army in Sudan's civil war, was accused of Thursday's attack by a medical organisation, the Sudan Doctors' Network, and the army. The RSF in turn accused the army of hitting a market on Friday in a drone attack in the Darfur region, on a fuel depot at the Adre border crossing with Chad. Sudan has been ravaged by war since April 2023 when a power struggle broke out between the RSF and the army, who were formerly allies . According to the army-aligned foreign ministry, the kindergarten was struck twice with missiles from drones. Civilians and medics who rushed to the school were also attacked, it added. Responding to reports of the attack in Kalogi, a spokesman for the UN children's agency Unicef said: "Killing children in their school is a horrific violation of children's rights."
