UN says drone strikes killed at least 306 people in Sudan in three weeks

UN rights chief Volker Türk condemned an escalation in drone strikes across Sudan that killed at least 306 people and injured hundreds more in the first three weeks of October. A BBC investigation found hospitals were deliberately targeted by RSF fighters, and Türk says the attacks may amount to war crimes. Reporting also describes drone attacks on supply lines and on cities once considered safe.
