CAIRO — A drone strike hit a U.N. facility in war-torn Sudan on Saturday, killing six peacekeepers, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.

The strike hit the U.N. peacekeeping logistics base in the city of Kadugli, in the central region of Kordofan, he said in a statement.

Eight other peacekeepers were wounded in the strike. All the victims are Bangladeshi nationals, serving in the U.N. Interim Security Force for Abyei, UNISFA.
