Civil War is full of drones, 160 wasted lives!

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - 160 people have been reported dead due to escalation of drone strikes that occurred brutally throughout Sudan. The human rights group has given a strong warning that the rise of this drone strike has horribly targeted civilians and public infrastructure.

To quote Al Jazeera, Tuesday (20 / 10 / 2026), the Emergency Lawyers civil violence watch group reported that a drone strike on Khartoum's capital had killed three children on Monday. Overall, this wave of deadly attacks has taken over 160 lives in the western region of the country since Friday.

This attack has been placed between paramilitary rapid support forces and government forces that have been at war since 2023. The rapid increase in drone use over the past few months has been the result of surging civilian casualties.

The deadliest incident recently occurred near a market on Sunday night in the city of Al-Dibab, West Kordofan State, which was under RSF control.

Forty-seven injuries were taken directly to the nearest town of Al-Mujlad. In fact, 30 of them eventually died of severe injuries. For this massacre, the RSF's independent government known as Tassis, along with Emergency Lawyers, is openly accusing government soldiers as the mastermind behind the attack.

On the east side of Sudan, the military sources on Sunday claim that their air defense system managed to intercept several RSF drones that targeted the Atbara and Setit dam in the Gadaref State, approximately 420 miles east of Khartoum. No direct comment from the RSF regarding this incident.

Next Monday morning, another drone strike hit a powerful RSF base in Nala, South Darfur capital. Medical sources and RSF indicate that 17 people, including seven RF officers, were killed and the other 23 injured.

Previously on Friday, a drone attack from RSF also hit a refugee camp in the Blue Nile province that bordered directly with Ethiopia, killing 41 people. Emergency Lawyers condemned the attack violently and called it a dark humanitarian tragedy.

The United Nations immediately condemned the string of deadly attacks on Monday. A spokesperson for the Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres, ate Dujarric, voiced deep concerns of the international community.

"We are concerned about a deadly drone strike that continues throughout the country that killed civilians, including children, and that disrupted the central service," said Dujarric.

As a flashback, the war that has now entered this fourth year erupted in April 2023 when the military leader Abdel Fattah al- Burhan and leader of RF Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedolo) had a dispute regarding the integration plans of the paramilitary into the Sudan army. In June, Hemetti was even sentenced to die in absentia for war crimes.

Based on the data of the ACLED conflict monitoring agencies, this battle has killed at least 59,000 people, although various relief groups believe the number of victims is actually much higher. The United Nations recorded about 13 million people forced to flee their homes, creating what they call the world's largest humanitarian crisis.

In all of Sudan, there are 33.7 million people who are in desperate need of emergency food support this year, including 17.3 million children inside. The United Nations also estimates that 825,000 children must now struggle with very acute and severe malnutrition.

The response to this crisis, the United States on Friday has urged the UN Security Council to push for a humanitarian ceasefire and expand arms embargo against the Sudan. Unfortunately, the crucial move was to get a strong resistance from China and Russia that refused to extend the embargo.
