A UNAMID spokesman said the incident occurred when a UXO (unexploded ordnance) detonated in Tringlat, north of the West Darfur state capital El Geneina.
The UN estimates that at least 300,000 people have died as a result of the Darfur conflict, which began in 2003 when rebels from non-Arab tribes in Sudan`s far west rose up against the Arab-dominated Khartoum regime.
The Sudanese government puts the death toll at 10,000.
Elsewhere in Sudan, the UN`s humanitarian agency OCHA said last month it had received reports that three children died in Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan state, when they found a UXO which then detonated.
Government troops have been battling rebels in South Kordofan since last June. (*)
