RSF kills 116 people in Sudan’s Kalogi, including 46 children

Sudan Doctors Network says ‘deliberate suicide-drone attacks’ targeted a kindergarten and several civilian facilities.

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have attacked a pre-school and other sites in the Kalogi locality of the state of South Kordofan, killing at least 116 people, according to a local official.

The executive director of the Kalogi locality told Al Jazeera on Saturday that the victims of the attack included 46 children who were attending the pre-school.

Two military sources in the government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) also told Al Jazeera the RSF attacked the kindergarten on Thursday and later targeted civilians who had gathered to offer assistance amid the carnage.

The city’s hospital and a government building were also bombed, the sources said.

Communication blackouts in the area have made it difficult to report on the casualties, but there were fears the death toll could rise even further, the sources said.
