A Sudanese human rights monitoring group, Emergency Lawyers, reported that an aerial drone strike executed by the Sudanese Armed Forces on a bustling marketplace in Nyala killed more than 100 people and left at least 113 others injured on Tuesday. The rights advocacy organization stated that the majority of victims in the South Darfur city were women and children who were shopping and conducting daily trade at the open-air market when the munitions struck the crowded stalls.
Local healthcare volunteers reported that field clinics and regional hospitals were completely overwhelmed by the influx of trauma casualties, facing critical shortages of blood bags, intravenous fluids, and sterile surgical equipment. The strike represents one of the deadliest single incidents targeting civilian commerce since the conflict between the regular military and the Rapid Support Forces erupted. Human rights advocates strongly condemned the use of unguided explosive weapons in heavily populated public spaces, calling for international investigations into potential violations of international humanitarian law.
