Air Strikes Kill Dozens of Gold Miners on Sudan-Egypt Border

A Sudan-based human‑rights organization reported that air strikes in a remote, disputed area along the Sudan‑Egypt border killed 72 people. The victims were gold miners working in a region known for illegal mining activities.

The strikes occurred in an area where jurisdiction is contested, and the rights group said the attack targeted miners rather than any armed faction. No official statement from the parties responsible for the air strikes has been released.

The incident underscores the dangers faced by workers in illegal mining zones and adds to the growing list of civilian casualties in Sudan's border regions.
