A Sudanese army drone attack killed 35 people in Darfur, the Emergency Lawyers group said. The Sunday strike hit a court in Garra al-Zawaya, North Darfur, a village under Rapid Support Forces control. [1] Tuesday's completed headline still uses that toll. It does not add a second strike.

Emergency Lawyers have documented abuses by both sides. The attribution is theirs. The army has not, in this file, published a competing count. The paper holds the 35 as a sourced claim, not as a UN-verified census.

The U.N. said more than 1,000 civilians were killed in drone strikes in Sudan in the first five months of this year. The war, in its fourth year, has killed at least 59,000 people, displaced about 13 million, and pushed much of the country into famine. [1] Those are the background numbers. They do not raise Sunday's court to 36.

A reader who only sees "Darfur drone" will invent a new massacre every refresh. The Tuesday hold is 35, one court, one Sunday, one village.

A court under RSF control is a political target as well as a building. [1] The paper records the lawyers' count. It does not convert 35 into a verdict on which side owns the famine.
