A drone attack killed four people and injured 14 others in Bamina, in Chad’s Wadi Fira province, near Sudan. The Chadian government denies any army involvement and has called for an investigation to establish the origin of the strike, according to Tchadinfos and provincial authorities.
Chadian government spokesperson Gassim Chérif Mahamat denied any involvement by the army in the drone attack that killed four people and injured 14 others in Bamina, in Wadi Fira province, near the Sudanese border. “It was not a Chadian army drone that fired on the population,” he told Tchadinfos.
The government’s representative in Wadi Fira, Brahim Issa Galmaï, visited the scene with officials from the defence and security forces, and then went to Tiné Djagarba district hospital, where the injured were treated. He called for a swift investigation to identify the drone’s origin and those responsible for the strike, according to Tchadinfos.
The attack took place in a border area with Sudan, where war has been raging since April 2023 between the regular army and the Rapid Support Forces. It follows the drone strike at Bamina market, reported on 21 October.
