A drone strike killed 12 civilians, including six children, in the town of Kutum in Sudan’s North Darfur on Wednesday.
Hospital staff in Kutum received the bodies of the dead, among them three female secondary school students.
They also treated 16 injured people, including women and children.
A medical source gave the details on condition of anonymity for safety reasons.
Local activists from the El-Fasher Resistance Committee said the strike hit the Al-Salama neighbourhood near Al-Um Girls’ School.
They blamed the Sudanese army for the attack.
Both the Sudanese army and the terrorists now use drones more often in the civil war that started in April 2023.
The United Nations reported last month that drone strikes had killed more than 500 civilians between January and mid-March this year.
The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people and forced more than 11 million others from their homes.
It has created one of the world’s largest displacement and hunger crises.
