On October 26, 2026, a drone strike by the Sudanese Armed Forces targeted a busy market in Nyala, South Darfur, resulting in 36 fatalities and over 150 injuries. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported that many victims were civilians, with medical staff treating severe injuries including shrapnel wounds and burns. This attack follows a previous drone strike on October 16 that killed at least four people. The ongoing conflict has led to increased violence against civilian areas, exacerbating access to food and medical care amid rising malnutrition. MSF teams are actively responding to the crisis, treating war-wounded individuals and refugees in neighboring Chad. The situation remains dire as both sides in the conflict reportedly target civilian infrastructure.
