Drone hit a market in the city that serves as the de facto capital of the paramilitary RSF in Darfur, resident says.
A drone strike in Nyala, in Sudan’s Darfur region, has killed at least 21 people and injured 40 others, the AFP news agency reported, citing a medical source and witnesses.
A Nyala resident said the attack took place at about 8pm (18:00 GMT) on Monday at a market in the north of the city, which serves as the de facto capital of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
“Twenty-one people were killed in last night’s bombing, and more than 40 others injured,” a medic at Nyala Hospital said on Tuesday.
An RSF drone attack on Tuesday “targeted the al-Markhiyat transformer station, disrupting power supplies for millions across large parts of Khartoum and Gezira state”, a national electricity company told AFP on condition of anonymity.
