The United Nations reports over 1,000 Sudanese civilians have been killed by drone strikes in 2026, marking a significant escalation in the country’s three-year-long conflict. This surge in drone warfare represents a critical shift in the nature of the fighting. The increased use of drones is occurring alongside what the UN has described as the world’s most severe humanitarian crisis. FRANCE 24’s regional correspondent, Bastien Renouil, is reporting on the details of this escalating situation. The strikes are contributing to a worsening humanitarian situation within Sudan. The UN is monitoring the situation closely and assessing the full impact of drone warfare on the civilian population.
