Sudan Drone Attack Kills 17 in Chad

0:00What's up? I'm Cory with the story, and these are your global headlines. A drone attack from Sudan struck the Chadian border town of Tyne, killing 17 civilians on Wednesday afternoon. The strike hit during a funeral gathering where people had come together to mourn a relative. Two explosions went off near the house, taking the lives of mourners and children playing close by. Local residents described the chaos, but no one has claimed responsibility yet. This incident ties into the civil war in Sudan, now in its second year between the army and rapid support forces, that fighting has crossed into Chad before, including clashes last month that killed five Chadian soldiers and led to a border shutdown. Chad's government has ramped up troops along the frontier and hinted at possible strikes inside Sudan. Casualty counts varied early on, with some reports of 16 dead and 10 hurt, all civilians according to military sources. President Muhammad Idris Devi ordered the army to strike back hard against any future
