CNN —Sudanese actress Asia Abdel-Majid was killed in crossfire during fighting in the capital Khartoum on Wednesday, amid clashes between two warring factions that have devastated Sudan and led to the deaths of hundreds of civilians.
The 80-year-old was killed after shells hit her home in Bahri, north of the capital, in fighting between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese army, her nephew told CNN.
It is unclear if it was the RSF or the army that fired the shot that killed Abdel-Majid.
The kindergarten is next door to Abdel-Majid’s home, where she was alone when the shelling took place.
