At least 80 people were killed on October 19, 2026, in a drone strike near a market in Sudan's southern West Kordofan state, marking one of the deadliest single attacks since the Sudan war erupted in 2023, according to medical sources and witnesses. A separate drone attack the same day in the capital Khartoum killed four people including three children, underscoring the escalating aerial violence across Sudan's fragmented conflict zones and the mounting civilian toll of the ongoing war.
