At least 127 people, mostly civilians, were killed in escalating clashes between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Monday and Tuesday. The conflict, now in its 20th month, has intensified with airstrikes and artillery fire.
In North Darfur’s Kabkabiya, barrel bombs struck a market on Monday, killing over 100 people, according to the Al-Fashir Resistance Committee and human rights group Emergency Lawyers. Many victims were civilians, with bodies burned or mutilated beyond recognition.
On Tuesday, RSF artillery fire targeted army-held areas in Omdurman, Khartoum, killing 20 people, including 14 bus passengers. Seven more died in an attack in North Darfur, where famine has been declared at Zamzam camp.
The army, fighting for control of North Darfur’s capital, denied targeting civilians in Kabkabiya, while the RSF has not commented. Violence continues to devastate the region.
