Kabkabiya, November 09 (Darfur24)
At least two people were killed and six others injured on Sunday when a suspected Sudanese army drone struck a popular market in the Gara al-Zawiya area, west of Kabkabiya in Sudan’s North Darfur State, medical and local sources told Darfur24 on Monday.
A medical source in Kabkabiya said the strike killed two people and injured approximately six others.
Ahmad al-Tayeb, a local official in North Darfur, told Darfur24 that the attack caused civilian and RSF casualties, adding that the injured were transferred to Kabkabiya for treatment.
He said the drone struck the outskirts of the market around midday, during the noon prayer call, causing casualties and property damage.
Al-Tayeb condemned the attack, saying it had affected both civilians and military personnel, and called for an end to strikes on populated areas.
The Gara al-Zawiya area has experienced repeated drone attacks. On August 2, a strike hit the local court while it was in session, killing 35 civilians and injuring others, including women and children, according to previous reports.
Since the outbreak of war in April 2023, the use of drones by the warring parties has escalated, with attacks increasingly reported against military positions and populated areas across Sudan.
