"Six United Nations peacekeepers from Bangladesh were killed and eight more were wounded in a drone attack on a UN base in Sudan on Saturday, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said. The drone strike hit a logistics camp of the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) in Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan state. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the "unjustifiable" attack and said that such attacks "may constitute war crimes under international law.""
"Sudan's government and military blamed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for the attack. Army chief General Abdel Fattah Burhan called the attack a "dangerous escalation". The RSF in a statement on Telegram, however, refuted the allegations as "false accusations." Bangladesh Army says 'situation still unstable' Bangladesh's interim leader Muhammad Yunus said in a statement that he was "deeply saddened" by the attack and urged the UN to provide emergency support to the Bangladeshi personnel."
