4 civilians killed and 9 injured in a missile attack by Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) on two towns in South Kordofan State in Sudan on Wednesday.
The missiles were launched at Kadolgi and Al-Dalang in South Kordofan State and are said to have target the very populated areas.
Among the 4 civilians killed two were children and the nine injured 5 were children. The attacks that targeted the eastern region of the state were executed using Katusha missiles.
The missile attack was well planned as it coincided with the elections. Officials said that the attack by the rebels was aimed at disrupting the electoral but instead boosted the morale of exercising the public’s constitutional right to vote.
The rebels are associated with the opposition who have boycotted the elections and are said to have declared to target the elections in February. There has been a wagging war between the Sudanese Army and the SPLM rebel since 2011.
The missile attack was fulfillment of the rebels promise and has been preceded by other related attacks on the Sudanese civilian. The elections that have current President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir as the main contender ended on Wednesday and result are expected on April, 27.
