A Sudanese warplane last week dropped a bomb near a medical facility run by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in the southern Nuba Mountains region.

According to an MSF official, the bomb landed 200 metres away from the medical facility.

“However, there were no injuries and the hospital sustained no damage, so we cannot confirm whether this was a targeted bombing or not,” the official told Radio Tamazuj.

This comes after another bombing of the hospital in Farandalla in mid-June. That bombing injured six people – five villagers and one MSF staff member. 

In May, the Sudanese government bombed the compound of the Mother of Mercy hospital in Gidel village, South Kordofan, causing minor structural damage and injuring one person.
