Summoned Sudan's ambassador, then said the circumstances of the strike were not established

A drone strike on Amiet market in Abyei killed at least 153 people, Abyei's information minister said, more than double the first toll of 73 as fires kept burning. UN peacekeepers said they could confirm at least 80 deaths and were still checking, with others missing.
