Doctor group says attack killed 50 people, but the final death toll is likely to be higher

A drone strike by Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit a kindergarten in South Kordofan, killing 50 people, including 33 children, the Sudan Doctors Network (SDN) said late on Friday.

The group said the RSF and its ally, Abdelaziz al-Hilu’s faction of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement - North (SPLM-N), on Thursday carried out “deliberate suicide-drone attacks" on the kindergarten and several civilian facilities in Kalogi town.

The SDN, a group that has been supporting civilians throughout the course of Sudan’s war, said paramedics responding to the scene came under “a second, unexpected attack”.
