UN Peacekeepers Killed in Sudan Drone Strike; Guterres Condemns “War Crime”
Cairo – A drone strike on a United Nations peacekeeping logistics base in Kadugli, Sudan, has resulted in the deaths of six peacekeepers and injuries to eight others. The attack occurred on Saturday, December 13, 2025.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres released a statement condemning the attack in the strongest terms. “Attacks targeting United Nations peacekeepers may constitute war crimes under international law,” Guterres said, demanding that those responsible be held accountable for this “unjustifiable” act.
All of the victims were Bangladeshi nationals serving with the UN Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA). The strike occurred at the UN logistics base located in the city of Kadugli, in the central region of Kordofan.
The Sudanese military has attributed the attack to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group that has been engaged in a prolonged conflict with the Sudanese army for control of the country. In a statement, the military claimed the attack “clearly reveals the subversive approach of the rebel militia and those behind it.”
The incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict and raises serious concerns about the safety and security of UN peacekeepers operating in Sudan. Investigations into the attack are underway.
