Sudanese Army Drone Attack Kills 35 People in Darfur

HeadlineAug 04, 2026

In Sudan, a Sudanese army drone attack killed 35 people in Darfur, according to the Emergency Lawyers group, which has documented abuses by both sides of the civil war in Sudan. The strike on Sunday hit a court in the village of Garra al-Zawaya in North Darfur, which is under the control of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. According to the U.N., more than 1,000 civilians were killed in drone strikes in Sudan during the first five months of this year. The conflict, now in its fourth year, has killed at least 59,000 people, displaced about 13 million and pushed much of Sudan into famine.
