Khartoum, October 11 (Xinhua) — More than 30 civilians were killed on Saturday in drone strikes carried out by the paramilitary Rapid Intervention Force (RIF) in the western Sudanese city of El Fasher, local sources reported.
A medical source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity that the SRF "conducted systematic drone strikes on the Dar al-Arqam temporary accommodation center and Omdurman Islamic University" this morning, killing "more than 30 civilians," including children, women, and the elderly, and injuring dozens more.
The bodies of the victims were taken to the Saudi Arabian Hospital in El Fasher, the source added.
An eyewitness told Xinhua that drones struck Dar al-Arqam in southern El Fasher, leaving some people "burned alive inside the temporary accommodation center."
Meanwhile, the Coordination of Resistance Committees in El Fasher confirmed the strikes in a statement, adding that “due to indiscriminate bombing in residential areas, there are more casualties, both dead and wounded, but access to these areas is still impossible.”
The SBR has not yet commented on the latest incident.
Since May 2024, fierce clashes have been ongoing in El Fasher between the Sudanese Armed Forces and their allies, on the one hand, and the RRF, on the other. In recent days, the intensity of the fighting has significantly increased.
Sudan remains engulfed in a massive conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF that began in April 2023. Since then, fighting has claimed tens of thousands of lives and forced millions to flee their homes, exacerbating the country's humanitarian crisis.
