Drone Strike on Amiet Market in Sudan Results in Over 150 Deaths
A drone strike targeting the Amiet Market in Sudan has resulted in more than 150 fatalities. Local officials have attributed the attack to the Sudanese military.
A deadly drone strike occurred on Monday at the Amiet Market, located north of Abyei town in Sudan. According to Yohanna Akol Ngor, the caretaker information minister for the Abyei administration, the attack resulted in the deaths of over 150 people.
Local authorities have publicly blamed the Sudanese military for conducting the strike. At this stage, the Sudanese military has not issued a formal response to these allegations, nor have independent international observers confirmed the specific origin of the drone used in the operation. The Amiet Market is a significant commercial hub in the region, and the high casualty count marks a major escalation in the ongoing instability within the area.
Because the report relies solely on the statement provided by the Abyei administration, there is currently no corroborating evidence from military spokespeople or neutral humanitarian organizations on the ground to verify the identity of the perpetrators. The situation remains fluid as regional officials continue to assess the impact of the strike on the local population.
