Sudanese Army Airstrike on North Darfur Market Kills Hundreds of Civilians

The attack marks a significant escalation in Sudan's ongoing civil war, as the army claims gains in Khartoum while millions remain displaced by the conflict.

An airstrike by the Sudanese army on Tora Market in North Darfur reportedly killed hundreds of civilians, according to activist group Emergency Lawyers.
The Sudanese army claims to have recaptured parts of Khartoum, including the presidential palace, previously held by the RSF militia since the conflict began in April 2023.
The RSF militia continues to control parts of southern and western Khartoum, including the capital's airport, as territorial battles persist.
The civil war, which has killed tens of thousands and displaced over 12 million, has created one of the world's largest humanitarian crises, with famine and severe malnutrition widespread.
Both the Sudanese army and the RSF face allegations of war crimes, including attacks on civilians and ethnic violence, deepening the international concern over the conflict.
