Part of situation: Deadly accidents and airstrikes hit Sudan gold mines (5 clusters)

Sudan gold mine airstrikes kill at least 72 workers

Sudan gold mines Jabal al-Uqaydat Sudan-Egypt border dispute Emergency Lawyers Halaib Triangle

At least 72 civilian gold miners were killed in an airstrike on a mining site in northern Sudan, near the disputed border with Egypt, according to the rights group Emergency Lawyers. The attack targeted the Jabal al-Uqaydat area in the North Wadi region.

Survivors reported that a jet aircraft conducted at least five separate strikes on the site, causing chaos and leaving many bodies among the rubble. While Emergency Lawyers accused the Egyptian military of carrying out the raid, the Egyptian government has not issued an official comment. Some reports suggest miners had received prior warnings from Egyptian authorities to evacuate the area.

Casualty figures vary across different organizations. The Sudan Doctors Network reported at least 13 deaths and 28 injuries, while the Darfur Victims Advocacy group claimed as many as 200 people were killed and 120 injured. These figures have not been independently verified.

This incident marks the second major strike in the Jabal al-Uqaydat region this year, following an attack in June that killed 23 workers. The area, located near the resource-rich Halaib Triangle, remains a point of territorial dispute between Sudan and Egypt. The escalation highlights increasing insecurity and lawlessness along the border amid Sudan’s ongoing civil war.
