At least 32 killed in Sudanese army strikes on Tuesday -activists
At least 32 civilians were killed and many injured in artillery strikes by the Sudanese army, resulting in one of the highest casualties in a single day since the start of the war in April.
The regular army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have fired missiles into populated areas, causing numerous civilian casualties in Khartoum and other cities. While the RSF controls most of Khartoum, the army has an advantage in heavy artillery and aircraft.
Sudan's military ruler issued a constitutional decree dissolving the RSF, but there was no immediate reaction. Both the army and RSF have been accused of war crimes for their actions and will be held accountable. The United States has sanctioned the deputy head of the RSF for human rights abuses.
