Sources
Compiled from 2 independent publishers Al Jazeera · The Guardian
Al Jazeera places the strike at an Abyei market near the Sudan–South Sudan border and reports 150 deaths; The Guardian places an attack near a market in al-Dibab and reports 80 deaths. The Guardian also describes two strikes at a transport hub, a detail absent from Al Jazeera’s supplied text.
Bottom line
Conflicting locations and casualty totals mean the reporting currently establishes a serious alleged drone attack, but not a reconciled account of one incident.
