The UN has expressed grave concern over the rising use of drones. UN Human Rights Commissioner Volker Türk condemned the attacks, noting more than 200 civilian deaths from drone strikes since March 4, especially in Kordofan and White Nile state. Just a day earlier, a drone allegedly launched by the RSF hit a school and health center in White Nile, killing 17 people, mostly schoolgirls. The Sudanese military has not officially commented, but sources indicate operations targeting the RSF were underway.

The escalating use of drone warfare in Sudan's conflict zones has raised alarms among international observers. The targeting of civilian areas, including markets and schools, underscores the urgent need for a ceasefire and a return to peace negotiations. Humanitarian organizations continue to call for the protection of civilians and adherence to international humanitarian law by all parties involved in the conflict.
