In a statement received by Sudan Tribune, the West Kordofan State Emergency Room said an army drone struck the Abu Zabad Secondary School for Girls, which was sheltering people who had fled the war seeking safety. The group demanded that both warring parties comply with international law and protect unarmed civilians.
The strike comes amid escalating tensions in West Kordofan, where both the army, backed by allied armed movements, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been mobilizing fighters for renewed confrontations.
The RSF has captured several towns in the wider Kordofan region in recent weeks after fierce battles.
The emergency group issued an appeal to international organizations for a rapid response, saying displaced people were overcrowding shelters, residential neighbourhoods, and public squares in the Abu Zabad area.
