UN says drone strikes killed 306 in Sudan in three weeks
UN human rights chief Volker Türk said drone strikes across Sudan killed at least 306 people in the first three weeks of October. A BBC investigation found evidence that the paramilitary RSF systematically destroyed el-Fasher's health system, which Türk said may amount to war crimes. The Sudanese army said it recaptured two areas in Blue Nile state, including the Bukuri base.
Why it matters
Escalating drone warfare and attacks on hospitals deepen one of the world's largest humanitarian crises.
