A drone attack in al-Dibab, Sudan, resulted in the deaths of 80 individuals, primarily commuters returning home from the market. Witnesses reported that the drone struck a transport hub twice, causing significant casualties. Additionally, another drone strike in al-Mujlad injured four people who are currently receiving medical treatment.

This incident marks one of the deadliest attacks since the conflict began in April 2023, fueled by a power struggle between the Sudanese armed forces and paramilitary groups. The use of drones has escalated in the ongoing war, contributing to a high number of civilian casualties.
