UN chief condemns “horrific” drone strike targeting peacekeepers in Sudan

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Saturday condemned the “horrific” drone attack on Bangladeshi peacekeepers in Sudan that killed six people and injured six others.

In a statement, Guterres said he “strongly condemns the horrific drone attacks” targeting the United Nations peacekeeping logistics base in Kadugli.

He warned that attacks against UN peacekeepers may amount to war crimes under international law, stressing that such assaults, including Saturday’s strike in South Kordofan, are unjustifiable and must be met with accountability.
