Kutum: A drone strike on Kutum in Sudan's North Darfur state has killed 12 civilians, including six children, a medical source and local activists said Thursday.

A medical source said that those brought to the town's hospital included 12 dead, among them six children, including three secondary school students. Sixteen others were injured, including women and children, and are receiving treatment.

The El-Fasher Resistance Committee, a pro-democracy group, said the strike on Wednesday hit the Al-Salama neighbourhood near Al-Um Girls' School, blaming the Sudanese army, which has been at war with the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023.
