At least 21 civilians were killed and 63 injured in the air raid on Sunday, Sennar’s acting governor Tawfiq Muhammad Ali said Monday, according to state-run news agency SUNA. The lawyers’ group said more than 30 people were killed in the RSF attack, which it said targeted a market and other civilian locations. The activist group also attributed a similar airstrike in the nearby al-Souki town that killed four people to the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). Both the SAF and the RSF have frequently accused each other of killing civilians as war between them enters a second year. The report called for the deployment of an independent force to protect civilians as well as a nationwide arms embargo.
