On April 15, violent clashes broke out between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with their epicenter in Khartoum. Since then, a number of temporary nationwide ceasefires have been declared by the belligerents, but none of them have contributed to the resolution of the conflict.
A drone attack on an open market south of the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Sunday killed at least 40 people amid the
ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), local media reported.
In addition to the 40 dead, dozens of others were wounded in the attack in Khartoum's Mayo district, the media said, citing local activist groups and two health workers from Bashair University Hospital, where the wounded were being treated.
The activists posted footage on social networks showing bodies wrapped in white sheets in an open courtyard of the hospital.
