Sudanese army drone strikes in West Kordofan killed at least 72 artisanal miners. This is the second such incident in a week.
An airstrike in northern Sudan killed at least 72 artisanal miners on Saturday, according to the rights monitor Emergency Lawyers. This incident follows a similar drone strike in West Kordofan that killed 16 people, also attributed to the Sudanese army.
The attacks occur amid the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. The use of airstrikes against civilian targets, particularly in areas associated with artisanal mining, raises concerns about the conduct of the war and its impact on non-combatants.
