More than 55 others were injured in the attack on a market in the capital Khartoum.
A drone attack on an open market south of Sudan’s capital Khartoum killed at least 43 people, activists and medical workers have said, as the military and a powerful paramilitary group battle for control of the country.
Sudan has been rocked by violence since mid-April, when tensions between the country’s military, led by General Abdel Fattah Burhan, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, commanded by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, burst into open fighting. The conflict has since spread to several parts of the country. In the Greater Khartoum area, which includes the cities of Khartoum, Omdurman and Bahri, RSF troops have commandeered civilian homes and turned them into operational bases. The military responded by bombing residential areas, human rights groups and activists say.
Clementine Nkweta-Salami, the UN humanitarian co-ordinator in Sudan, expressed concerns on Sunday about the clashes in al-Fasher. Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, the UN official called for warring factions to stop fighting “so that humanitarians can bring in food, medicine and shelter items to those who need them most”.
