A devastating drone attack on an open market in the southern outskirts of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, has resulted in a tragic loss of life, with activists and medical personnel confirming the death toll to be at least 40 people. The strike comes amidst intensifying clashes between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for control of the country.

According to reports from resistance committees and healthcare workers at Bashair University Hospital, where the casualties were treated, at least 70 individuals sustained injuries in the attack that took place in Khartoum’s Mayo neighbourhood on Sunday. Regrettably, many of these victims will require amputations due to the severity of their injuries.
