The targeted market is believed to be a fuel supply point for the Rapid Support Forces.
On Thursday, a Chadian military source confirmed that at least twelve people were killed and seven wounded in an airstrike near the eastern border between Chad and Sudan.

Colonel Abdel-Nasser Ahmat, commander of military operations in eastern Chad, reported that the bombing hit a market in the border area of Adikong, Sudan. The circumstances of the attack and the identity of those responsible remain under investigation.
The Chadian army stated that it cannot attribute the bombing until the official investigation is complete. The targeted market is believed to be a fuel supply point for the RSF, which has been at war with the Sudanese army since April 2023.
Last week, the Chadian Armed Forces reported a drone attack in the same region, which resulted in no casualties and was attributed to the Sudanese army, although no public evidence has been provided.

In March, another drone attack originating from Sudan left 17 dead in the Chadian border city of Tine. The Sudanese conflict pits the army of General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan against the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) of General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo “Hemedti.”
It has caused more than 150,000 deaths and displaced 13 million people. Since the start of the war, more than 900,000 Sudanese have also crossed into eastern Chad, which is facing enormous difficulties in assisting them amid cuts in international aid.
The Sudanese crisis is currently considered the worst humanitarian emergency on the planet, with direct consequences for neighboring countries like Chad, which is suffering cross-border attacks and migratory pressure.
