At least six civilians have been killed and 24 injured in artillery shelling that targeted a displacement centre in Al Fasher in western Sudan, a Sudanese relief committee has said, accusing the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of carrying out the attack.

“Today, the RSF shelled food kitchens in Al Fasher, killing six civilians and injuring more than 24 others,” said the Al Fasher Resistance Coordination, a grassroots committee, in a statement on Tuesday.
