At least 28 civilians were killed in two separate drone strikes in Sudan on Wednesday, according to local health workers, as the country's civil war between government forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces continues.

One strike hit a market in the town of Saraf Omra in North Darfur state, killing 22 people including an infant and injuring 17 others, a health worker at the local clinic reported. A second strike targeted a truck carrying civilians in North Kordofan state, resulting in six additional deaths.

The attacks occurred as Sudan's conflict approaches its fourth year. The civil war began when tensions between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group erupted into open fighting.

Health workers provided casualty figures for both incidents, though it remains unclear which faction was responsible for the drone strikes. The civilian casualties highlight the ongoing humanitarian impact of the prolonged conflict on Sudan's population.
