Drone Strikes Kill 23 in Strategic Sudanese City of al-Ubayyid

Drone attacks on the key Sudanese city of al-Ubayyid killed 23 people, marking one of the deadliest aerial assaults since Sudan's civil war began. The strikes targeted the strategically important city, which has been a focal point in the ongoing conflict between Sudan's regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces that erupted in April 2023. The civilian casualties underscore the intensifying violence in Sudan's civil war, which has displaced millions and created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises as both sides increasingly rely on aerial bombardments in their fight for control of the country.
