A deadly attack by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, has left at least 10 people dead and 23 others injured, Sudan’s Armed Forces (SAF) reported on Wednesday.

The RSF shelled residential areas and a shelter center with 37 artillery shells, targeting civilians.

The SAF’s 6th Infantry Division confirmed the deaths of 10 people, including a 3-year-old girl, and reported that some of the 23 injured were critically wounded and had to be transferred to medical facilities.

The RSF also launched drone strikes on key locations in El Fasher, but the SAF successfully intercepted the drones with air defense systems. The RSF has not yet commented on the attack.

El Fasher has been a hotspot of intense fighting between the SAF and the RSF since May 2023.

Sudan has been embroiled in ongoing conflict since April 2023, resulting in over 29,000 deaths and the displacement of more than 15 million people, according to UN and migration agency reports.

The SAF’s 6th Infantry Division confirmed that the RSF shelled residential areas and a shelter center with 37 artillery shells, targeting civilians.
