Deadly drone attack targets hospital in Sudan's Darfur
Dozens of patients have been killed in a drone attack on one of the last functioning hospitals in el-Fasher in Sudan's Darfur region. While it was not immediately clear who targeted the Saudi Hospital on Friday, medical sources quoted by AFP news agency said the same building was hit by a Rapid Support Forces (RSF) drone "a few weeks ago". Friday's attack killed at least 30 patients in the emergency department, the report added. Regional governor Mini Minawi posted graphic images of bloodied bodies on his X account on Saturday, saying that the attack "exterminated" more than 70 patients, including women and children. The Sudanese army has been at war with the paramilitary RSF, who have seized nearly the entire vast western region of Darfur, since April 2023.
