Egyptian military forces carried out drone and heavy artillery strikes on artisanal gold mining sites at al-Ansari market and al-Ogaidat in Sudan's River Nile State, near the Egyptian border. At least 15 miners were killed and over 50 others injured in the attack, which originated from a nearby Egyptian combat camp. The strikes targeted areas known for informal gold mining, escalating cross-border tensions. Sudan Tribune previously reported footage of Egyptian airstrikes hitting similar sites, but this incident marks a significant escalation with confirmed casualties.
