Drone Strike on UN Facility Kills Six Bangladeshi Peacekeepers in Sudan

A recent drone strike on a UN peacekeeping facility in Sudan has tragically claimed the lives of six Bangladeshi peacekeepers, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The attack, which occurred in the Kordofan region, has been attributed to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group embroiled in a prolonged struggle against the Sudanese military.

UN Secretary General António Guterres condemned the strike as 'unjustifiable,' emphasizing its potential classification as a war crime under international law. This incident, which also left several others injured, highlights the dire situation in Sudan, where violence has already resulted in the deaths of over 40,000 people and the displacement of millions.

In the wake of this attack, protests have erupted in various regions, reflecting public support for the Sudanese Army and a unified stand against the RSF, further complicating an already volatile landscape.
