Artillery Strikes by Rapid Support Forces kill 13 civilians in North Darfur’s El Fasher

At least 13 civilians, including children and a pregnant woman, were killed and 19 others injured when the Rapid Support Forces launched artillery strikes on residential areas in El Fasher capital of North Darfur in Sudan, last evening.

The Sudan Doctors Network condemned the attack as a war crime and reported more casualties trapped under rubble. Local resistance groups warned that over a million civilians are trapped without protection or aid.

Meanwhile, the Rapid Support Forces, RSF, claimed key military gains in the city, but the Sudanese Armed Forces, SAF, denied these, saying they repelled the attack. Clashes between SAF and RSF continue to escalate, worsening Sudan’s humanitarian crisis.
