Sudan – At least 175 people have been killed and dozens injured in separate airstrikes across Sudan’s capital on Monday and Tuesday, marking some of the most violent incidents in the country’s 20-month conflict.
The strikes, reportedly linked to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), have intensified the ongoing war between the paramilitary group and the Sudanese army.
On Monday, an airstrike on a crowded market in Kabkabiya, 180 km west of North Darfur, claimed the lives of at least 100 civilians, including women and children, according to a rights group.
In another incident, a shell struck a passenger bus, killing all 22 passengers on board. Khartoum Governor Ahmed Othman Hamza described it as a “massacre” attributed to the RSF.
A separate attack in Omdurman, an army-controlled region, left at least 65 people dead and over 100 injured, Hamza added.
Tuesday’s clashes marked the deadliest escalation this year between the regular army, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF, commanded by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
Sudan has been engulfed in civil war since 2023, with the conflict displacing millions and killing at least 24,000 people.
Despite its devastating impact, the war has struggled to draw significant global attention amid other international crises.
