Six Bangladeshi peacekeepers got killed when a drone slammed into their UN base in Kadugli, which sits in central Sudan's Kordofan region. Antonio Guterres came out swinging and said attacks on UN troops could count as war crimes, while the Sudanese military blamed the hit on the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group that's been fighting them for over two years.
The Bangladeshi leader Muhammad Yunus confirmed eight more peacekeepers got wounded in the strike, and he wants the UN to hook up his people with emergency help. The UN Interim Security Force for Abyei has around 4,000 personnel watching over the oil-rich disputed zone between Sudan and South Sudan.
This whole mess kicked off when the army and RSF started beefing in April 2023, and the fighting has wasted more than 40,000 people while pushing parts of the country into straight-up famine conditions.
