Sudanese paramilitary drone attack kills at least 53 in Darfur, doctors' group says

The shelling and drone attack late Friday by the Rapid Support Forces on the city of el-Fasher also wounded another 21 people, including five children and seven women, said the Sudan Doctors’ Network, a group of medical professionals tracking the Sudanese civil war. The attack — the latest in Sudan’s civil war — hit the al-Arqam Home, a shelter for displaced families in el-Fasher, the provincial capital of North Darfur province, the group said. “This massacre represents a continuation of the scorched-earth policy practiced by the Rapid Support Forces against civilians, in flagrant violation of all international norms and laws,” the medical group said.
