Rhino: Agencies – On Tuesday, Sudanese army forces targeted the Wad Benda area in West Kordofan State with a number of missiles fired from drones, resulting in deaths, injuries, and widespread destruction of medical facilities and public property.

Darfur Initiative for Justice and Peace, citing local sources, reported that the strike directly targeted the men’s ward at Wad Benda Hospital, completely destroying the ward and causing extensive damage to the hospital’s infrastructure.

According to the sources, a second missile struck the city’s prison, killing Hamid al-Tahir and his son, as well as two other defendants awaiting trial, and injuring a number of inmates. The local council building was also targeted, resulting in its complete destruction, while a fourth missile struck the Teachers’ Union headquarters, causing partial damage to the building without any loss of life or injuries.

The Initiative added in a statement:(We reiterate our condemnation of these violations and massacres, which have become a daily occurrence, as the marches of the terrorist Islamic movement deliberately and persistently claim the lives of innocent civilians. The pressing question is: How long will these attacks continue to claim civilian lives, and what is the regional and international community waiting for to intervene to protect them and stop the war machine that is killing them and destroying their property?).
