A recent attack by the RSF in El Fasher, Sudan, resulted in 10 deaths and 23 injuries. The RSF targeted civilian areas with artillery and drones, leading to severe casualties. The conflict between the RSF and SAF has escalated since April 2023, resulting in thousands of deaths and millions displaced across the region.
In a recent attack attributed to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher, North Darfur State, ten individuals lost their lives and twenty-three more sustained injuries due to shelling. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) reported that the RSF targeted residential areas and a shelter center using 37 rounds of 120-mm artillery shells. Tragically, among the deceased was a three-year-old girl, with several other injured victims requiring hospitalization for serious wounds.
The RSF additionally employed drones to strike significant locations within the city; however, these attacks were thwarted by effective countermeasures from the SAF’s air defense. The RSF has yet to offer a response regarding the recent assault in El Fasher. This area has witnessed violent confrontations between the SAF and the RSF since last year, intensifying ongoing conflicts in Sudan.
Since the outbreak of hostilities in mid-April 2023, Sudan has seen catastrophic consequences, with over 29,683 casualties reported by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED) monitoring group, as noted by the United Nations. Moreover, the International Organization for Migration estimates indicate that more than 15 million people have been displaced due to the ongoing conflict, both within Sudan’s borders and in neighboring countries.
The recent RSF assault on El Fasher has resulted in significant civilian casualties and injuries, highlighting the ongoing violence in Sudan. The conflict between the SAF and RSF continues to devastate the region, with thousands of lives lost and millions displaced. As the situation unfolds, the international community remains called to address these humanitarian crises with urgency.
