Khartoum, March 13 (Xinhua) — At least 13 civilians were killed in a drone strike on Thursday at the Adre border crossing between Sudan and Chad, local volunteers and eyewitnesses reported.
A statement from the El Geneina Emergency Care Coordination Council, a volunteer civilian group, said a drone fired four missiles at the crossing, killing 13 fuel traders, including five women, and wounding five others.
The attack destroyed a fuel market at the crossing, damaged several civilian vehicles, and burned a large amount of food.
According to the volunteer group, all the victims were small-time traders who made their living transporting fuel and goods from the Chadian town of Adre to the crossing on traditional horse-drawn carts.
The statement added that the crossing is also used for humanitarian operations, including the delivery of aid, medicine and shelter materials, as well as for the movement of international aid workers.
An eyewitness, local fuel trader Adam Abdallah, told Xinhua that the attack occurred early in the morning as traders were preparing to start their workday.
The paramilitary Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) accused the Sudanese armed forces of carrying out the attack, saying it was aimed at disrupting the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Darfur region.
The RSFSR called on the UN Security Council and international organizations to take urgent measures to stop the “attacks” and bring those responsible to justice. –0–
