Three children died in a bomb explosion caused by remnants of war on Thursday in Korofala area in East Jebel Marra, Darfur. A relative of the dead told Radio Dabanga that the children were brothers.

Saleh Hussein Abdalla (7 years), Ibrahim Hussein Abdalla (8 years), and Mousa Hussein Abdalla were instantly dead. Explosive experts via Radio Dabanga warned the Sudanese citizens, especially in war zones, not to pick up or touch any unidentified foreign object. They appealed to them to call the authorities in the event that they find something that looks like an unexploded ordnance, such as missiles and granite bombs.

It lasted for at least three consecutive days, local sources told Radio Dabanga.
