Drone strikes attributed to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces are causing mass casualties in border towns along Chad-Sudan frontier, with patients arriving at Tiné Hospital in eastern Chad bearing severe burns, blast trauma, and multiple injuries. Since early May, 116 wounded have been treated at the facility following near-daily strikes; a single May 24 attack on a busy market killed at least 3 and wounded 35. Medical staff report an alarming shift toward targeting of civilians, particularly women and children, in a region already hosting over 900,000 Sudanese refugees.
