A drone strike hit a United Nations logistics base in Kadugli, Sudan, on Saturday, killing six peacekeepers and wounding eight others.
The UN confirmed the casualties were all members of the Bangladeshi peacekeeping contingent. The base is located in the central Kordofan region.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the attack, stating that assaults on UN peacekeepers are “unjustified and may constitute war crimes.”
The Sudanese military has attributed the attack to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the paramilitary group it has been fighting for control of the country for over two years. The RSF has not commented.
