At Least 330 Children Killed or Injured in Sudan in 2026 as Drone Attacks Intensify
At least 330 children were killed or injured across Sudan during the first six months of 2026, UNICEF said on Monday, warning that a surge in drone attacks – particularly in North Kordofan – is driving an increasingly deadly toll on civilians. UNICEF said the figure reflects verified child casualties and is likely an undercount, as insecurity continues to prevent independent monitoring across large parts of the country. Darfur and Kordofan recorded the highest numbers of verified child casualties. The agency described the situation in El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan, as especially alarming. Since May, at least 18 children have been killed and more than 17 injured in the city, ranging in age from two months to 17 years. According to UNICEF, drone strikes accounted for roughly 60 percent of those casualties, highlighting the growing impact of unmanned aerial warfare on civilians.
