Sudan war: Deadly drone strike targets funeral procession in el-Obeid, rights groups say

A drone strike on a funeral procession at a cemetery in el-Obeid killed at least four people and injured several others, according to the Sudan Doctors Network and Emergency Lawyers. Both groups blame the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for the attack, which is part of a series of drone strikes that have killed at least 23 people since Wednesday evening. The city, held by the army, is a key battleground in Sudan's three-year civil war. The conflict has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, with over 11 million displaced and 28 million facing acute hunger.
