Dozens of gold prospectors killed in strikes on Egypt-Sudan border
A regional rights organization has reported that at least 72 civilians were killed during air strikes on an artisanal gold mining camp located in Sudan's Red Sea state. The incident, which occurred on a Saturday, reportedly involved aircraft targeting mining sites with multiple missiles, resulting in significant casualties and destruction of equipment. Neither the Egyptian government nor Sudanese authorities have issued an official response to the allegations. This event highlights ongoing tensions in the border region, where informal gold mining has become a point of contention amid concerns over smuggling and the potential for illicit activities to undermine regional security.
