KHARTOUM, May 18 (Xinhua) — At least 14 civilians were killed Sunday in El Fasher, capital of western Sudan’s North Darfur state, after artillery strikes by the paramilitary Rapid Reaction Force (RRF), local volunteer groups said.
“14 civilians were killed today as a result of artillery shelling by the RSF,” the Coordination Group of Resistance Committees in El Fasher said in a statement.
It is noted that the targets of the shelling were the Naivasha market in the Abu Shouk camp for displaced persons and several neighborhoods in the northern part of El Fasher.
The Abu Shouk camp emergency department confirmed in a statement that 14 people were killed in the artillery shelling carried out by the RSF.
“The scale of losses is significant, due to the security situation we cannot yet establish the total number of dead and wounded,” the medical service said.
Meanwhile, the volunteer NGO Sudanese Doctors Network reported that 19 people were killed and 28 others were injured in “deliberate shelling” by the SRF on city neighbourhoods and the Abu Shouk camp for displaced persons in El Fasher.
