At least 226 people were killed and thousands displaced following a devastating drone strike on a market in Abyei, a region disputed between Sudan and South Sudan. The attack triggered massive fires and widespread casualties, with eyewitnesses reporting seeing dozens of burnt bodies at the scene.

The Sudanese military confirmed it conducted the operation, claiming it targeted fuel tankers allegedly destined for rebels. However, an additional attack on a funeral procession killed 145 more people, highlighting the devastating impact on civilian populations.

The incident underscores the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the disputed border region, with displaced persons fleeing their homes following the strikes. Local sources describe the toll as “catastrophic for the population.”
