A drone attack in Sudan killed 24 people, including eight children and two infants, on Saturday, according to a doctors' group, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with former US President Donald Trump in Washington on Wednesday to discuss Iran's nuclear program. Elsewhere, clashes erupted in Milan, Italy, during a protest against the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
The Sudan Doctors Network reported that the drone strike, carried out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), targeted a vehicle carrying displaced families near the city of Rahad in North Kordofan province. The area is currently experiencing a severe shortage of medical supplies.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu's office announced the upcoming meeting with Trump, stating that the discussion would focus on recent indirect talks between the US and Iran in Oman regarding Tehran's nuclear program. Netanyahu's office emphasized his belief that "all negotiations must include limiting the ballistic missiles, and ending support for the Iranian axis," referring to Iran's backing of militant groups in the region.
