Sudanese army drone strike kills 35 at Darfur court, rights group says

A Sudanese army drone strike in western Darfur killed 35 people and injured others, according to a rights group. The attack targeted a traditional court in Garra al-Zawaya, where civilians had gathered for hearings. The village is controlled by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have been engaged in a violent conflict with the army since 2023. A witness described the court session as taking place under a tree with local community leaders present. The RSF condemned the attack as a 'horrific crime,' claiming 37 deaths and 50 injuries. The strike occurred amid ongoing drone warfare between the army and RSF, with the UN noting over 1,000 civilian deaths from such attacks in the first five months of the year. The conflict has led to widespread displacement, humanitarian crises, and accusations of war crimes from both sides.
