The death toll from the artillery shelling by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on some residential neighborhoods in Omdurman city, north of the capital Khartoum, has risen to 40, a non-governmental resistance committee announced on Friday.
"The number of deaths is estimated at 40 with more than 50 injuries, ranging from minor to critical," the coordinating body of Karari Resistance Committee, a non-governmental popular group, said in a statement.
On Thursday, the RSF launched artillery strikes on a number of residential neighborhoods in Omdurman city's northern Karari locality.
Sudan has been witnessing deadly clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF since April 15, 2023.
The deadly clashes have so far claimed 15,550 lives and displaced over 8.8 million people nationwide, according to estimates by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
