Airstrikes on gold miners at the Egypt-Sudan border
Dozens of gold prospectors have been killed in airstrikes on informal mining sites near the Egypt-Sudan border, according to a rights group. No government or armed group has claimed responsibility, and the identity of those who carried out the strikes remains unestablished. The targeted sites were part of a wider area known for unregulated gold mining that had attracted the victims.
