A drone strike has hit a Sudan school and medical center, killing 17, mostly schoolgirls

An explosive-laden drone blamed on Sudanese paramilitaries has struck a secondary school and a health care center in southern Sudan, killing at least 17 people, mostly schoolgirls, a hospital official and a medical group said. At least 10 people were wounded in Wednesday's strike, according to Dr. Musa al-Majeri, director of the Douiem Hospital. The war-tracking Sudan Doctors Network reported the strike first, which happened in the village of Shukeiri in the White Nile province. It was the latest deadly attack in Sudan’s nearly three-year war. The conflict, which shows no sign of abating, pits the country’s military against the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group.
