A drone strike hit the city of Kauda in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains on Tuesday, according to the region’s civilian authority.
Regional government spokeswoman Rania Babakir Wanza said the strike targeted a headquarters used by a humanitarian organisation operating in the city.
The attack destroyed a vehicle belonging to Kauda’s security forces and another owned by a local resident, she said.
Smoke and debris covered parts of the area after the strike, raising fears of renewed violence in a region long affected by conflict.
Wanza accused General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s SAF of targeting facilities linked to humanitarian work, calling the attack a violation of international conventions.
She warned that strikes on aid-related infrastructure could disrupt relief operations and worsen conditions for civilians trapped by war.
The destruction of security vehicles inside the city may also undermine local stability and increase fear among residents, Wanza added.
The civilian authority called on international organisations and human rights groups to document attacks targeting civilians and civilian facilities.
It also urged international bodies to take greater responsibility for protecting civilians in conflict-affected areas.
Kauda is considered a political and military stronghold of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North led by Abdelaziz al-Hilu.
The area also hosts an administrative presence of the Sudan Founding Alliance, which includes the Rapid Support Forces and allied groups.
