A drone attack by Sudanese paramilitary forces hit a kindergarten in south-central Sudan, killing 50 people, including 33 children, a doctors group said.

Paramedics on the scene in the town of Kalogi in South Kordofan state were targeted in “a second unexpected attack,” the Sudan Doctors Network said in a statement late Friday.

Emergency Lawyers, a rights group tracking violence against civilians in Sudan, in a statement Saturday reported the strike on paramedics treating survivors in Kalogi and said “a third civilian site near the previous two” was also attacked.
