Airstrikes Kill Dozens of Gold Miners Near Sudan-Egypt Border

At least 72 workers were killed in airstrikes on a gold mine near the Sudan-Egypt border, according to a Sudanese rights group. The strikes hit Jabal Al-Uqaydat on Saturday, with survivors describing multiple blasts and miners fleeing into the surrounding mountains. The group accused Egypt’s air force, but the claim has not been independently verified, and Egypt issued no official comment. The remote area lies near a disputed border zone where informal mining is common. Rescue and documentation efforts are ongoing, and the final toll remains unconfirmed.
