Drone Strike Kills 10 in Sudan's El-Obeid
A drone strike hit a house in the city of El-Obeid in Sudan on Monday.
This attack killed 10 people, including 7 children.
The city is controlled by the Sudanese army, but the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been trying to surround it for months.
Sudan has been in a war between the army and the RSF since April 2023.
This war has caused many people to die and forced over 11 million people to leave their homes.
The fighting has also created a very serious hunger crisis in the region.
A drone strike killed 10 people, including 7 children, in El-Obeid, Sudan on Monday.
The strike hit a house in the center of the army-controlled city, which the RSF has been trying to encircle.
Sudan has been in a war between the army and the RSF since April 2023, with severe violence in the southern Kordofan region.
The RSF has been pushing through Kordofan to recapture Sudan's central corridor and tighten its siege on army-held cities.
The war has killed tens of thousands, displaced over 11 million people, and created the world's largest hunger and displacement crises.
