Airstrikes by the Sudanese army in the border state of Southern Kordofan from June 25 to June 28 probably caused civilian casualties, the United Nations said.
“Reports of aerial attacks causing civilian casualties and severe injuries in the Kauda area on June 27 have not yet been verified, but are supported by photographic and eyewitness reports,” the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in an e-mailed statement today. Raids were also reported in other parts of the state, including the capital, Kadugli, during the same period, according to the statement.
