Approximately 80 people were killed in a drone strike at Al-Dibab in Sudan’s Kordofan region on Sunday evening, October 18, a medical source and a witness told AFP on October 19. Most victims were reportedly waiting at a transport gathering point near a market for trucks to take them back to their villages. (tvanouvelles.ca)
Witness describes successive strikes
Witness Ahmed Abakar Wadi said he helped bury 50 people, including his brother. He described two strikes roughly ten minutes apart. Forty-seven injured people were reportedly transferred to another locality, where a medical source said 30 subsequently died—bringing the reported total to 80. (tvanouvelles.ca)
The Tasis coalition, the political arm of the Rapid Support Forces, blamed Sudan’s army. That accusation was not independently established in the cited account. Western Kordofan was described as under RSF control. The casualty figure remains a source-based estimate rather than a verified comprehensive count. (tvanouvelles.ca)
