Port Sudan, Sudan – A recent paramilitary drone attack on the army-held town of Kalogi in Sudan’s South Kordofan state hit a kindergarten and a hospital, killing dozens of civilians including children, a local official said Sunday.
The attack, which took place on Thursday, involved three strikes, “first a kindergarten, then a hospital and a third time as people tried to rescue the children,” Essam al-Din al-Sayed, head of the Kalogi administrative unit, said using a Starlink satellite internet connection.
He blamed the assault on the Rapid Support Forces and their ally, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North faction (SPLM-N) led by Abdelaziz al-Hilu, which controls much of South Kordofan and parts of Blue Nile state.
