September 11, 2023: At least 40 people were killed and 70 persons have been injured in a drone attack on an open market in Sudan on Sunday as the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) battle for control of the country.



The injured persons were undergoing treatment at Bashair University Hospital.



According to sources, Sudan has been witnessing violent attacks since mid-April as the tensions between Sudan's military, led by al-Burhan, and the RSF, commanded by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, burst into open fighting.



According to ANI, a fierce fight broke out between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the middle of April, resulting in a large-scale exodus of refugees from the nation in East Africa, where allied militias have been charged with crimes against humanity after allegations of killing civilians, looting homes, and ethnic cleansing.
