The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, condemned this Saturday (December 13, 2025) the drone attack that killed six peacekeepers originally from Bangladesh in a city in Sudan besieged by paramilitaries. “I strongly condemn the horrific drone attack that targeted the U.N. peacekeeping logistics base in Kadugli, Sudan,” he said in a statement.
Kadugli is in South Kordofan, a region that has recently become the epicenter of fighting in the war between the army and the paramilitaries.
The United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (Fisnua) told an AFP correspondent that a “drone attack” was registered against the Fisnua camp in Kadugli, about 200 km from Abyei. “Six soldiers were killed and six injured, four of them seriously,” the force said.
The FAR would be responsible for the attack
The attack was attributed by the Sudanese government to the Rapid Support Forces (FAR) paramilitaries. The Sovereignty Council, led by army chief General Abdel Fattah al Burhane, described the attack as a “dangerous escalation” in a statement.
The war, which broke out in April 2023, has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions of people, in what the UN has called “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”
