SUDAN: Military drones struck a funeral convoy and a market accused of supplying rival forces.
More than 200 civilians died in the strikes, which the army claims targeted RSF supply lines.
The funeral convoy was hit alongside a fuel market the military says was supporting the paramilitary group.
The scale of civilian casualties marks one of the deadliest single incidents in Sudan’s civil war.
◆ Why it matters
The army is now willing to strike large gatherings and markets it believes supply the RSF, even at the cost of mass civilian casualties. That signals a shift toward total economic warfare, where fuel depots and supply chains become targets regardless of who is nearby. Expect more attacks on infrastructure and trade hubs the army suspects of feeding its rival, and far fewer restraints on collateral damage.
