Sudan army drone attack on Darfur court kills 35

## Drone Attack in Darfur

A drone strike by the Sudanese army targeted a traditional court in Garra al-Zawaya, North Darfur, killing 35 civilians. The attack occurred on Sunday during a court session held under a tree, attended by local community leaders and civilians.

## Conflict Background

The village is under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have been in conflict with the Sudanese army since April 2023. The RSF condemned the attack, calling it a "horrific crime," and reported 37 fatalities and 50 injuries.

## Increasing Drone Warfare

Drone warfare has intensified in Sudan, with over 1,000 civilian deaths reported in the first five months of the year. The RSF, originating from the Janjaweed militia, has expanded its control in Darfur following its capture of El-Fasher last October.

## Humanitarian Concerns

The ongoing conflict between RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo and army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and mass displacement. The United Nations has raised alarms over potential mass atrocities as the RSF advances in the Kordofan region.
