Breaking News: UN Chief Condemns Drone Attack in Sudan

A devastating drone attack on a United Nations facility in war-torn Sudan has killed six peacekeepers and wounded eight others, according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. The attack occurred on Saturday at the peacekeeping logistics base in Kadugli, in the central region of Kordofan. All the victims are Bangladeshi nationals serving in the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA).

The drone strike hit the UN facility at around 10:30 am local time, with the victims being immediately rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. The wounded peacekeepers are receiving medical attention, but their condition remains critical.

The UN chief has strongly condemned the attack, describing it as "horrific." Guterres warned that attacks targeting United Nations peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law. The UN Security Council is expected to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the incident.

The attack comes at a time of heightened tensions in Sudan, where a civil war has been raging for years. The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and displacement of millions of people. The UN has been working to stabilize the region and provide humanitarian aid to those affected.

The international community has expressed its outrage and condolences to the families of the victims. The UN has vowed to continue its efforts to maintain peace and security in the region, despite the challenges posed by the drone attack.

As the situation continues to unfold, the UN is working closely with the Sudanese government and other stakeholders to investigate the attack and bring those responsible to justice. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks faced by UN peacekeepers in conflict zones around the world.
