Sudanese Airstrike on North Darfur Market Kills Hundreds

The Tora market bombing is one of the deadliest incidents in Sudan's ongoing civil war, with over 400 reported dead and widespread devastation.

Sudanese Armed Forces carried out an airstrike on the RSF-controlled Tora market in North Darfur, killing hundreds of civilians, with reports estimating over 400 deaths.
Activists and local sources describe the attack as one of the worst massacres in the two-year conflict, though exact casualty numbers remain unconfirmed due to limited access to the area.
The Sudanese army has not denied the airstrike but maintains it does not target civilians, while the RSF accuses the army of committing a massacre.
The bombing continues a pattern of SAF airstrikes on RSF-held areas in North Darfur, which have frequently resulted in significant civilian casualties.
The conflict, which began in April 2023, has displaced over 12 million people and created a dire humanitarian crisis, with famine declared in parts of Darfur and limited international aid reaching affected populations.
