Sudan's military is accused of a drone strike that killed 153 people in the Abyei market, a disputed border region between Sudan and South Sudan. The attack, which occurred on Monday, targeted a market in the oil-rich Abyei region and caused significant damage and casualties.
Authorities in Abyei district said the strike hit Amiet market and accused the Sudanese army of launching 22 munitions during the attack, which also wounded at least 27 people. The attack is part of a series of drone strikes that have escalated tensions between the two countries.
The United Nations condemned the attack, highlighting the ongoing conflict and the humanitarian impact. The strike has raised concerns about the safety of civilians and the potential for further violence in the region. The UN has called for an end to attacks that endanger civilian lives and property.
South Sudan's foreign ministry has summoned the Sudanese ambassador over the attack, urging Sudan to refrain from actions that threaten civilian lives. The incident underscores the complex dynamics of the conflict and the challenges faced by the international community in addressing the crisis.
