Sudan's army said its air force carried out intensive strikes on Friday on Rapid Support Forces (RSF, a paramilitary group fighting the army) command centres in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur state, claiming dozens of fighters were killed. The RSF said separately that an army drone hit a livestock market in the city and killed civilians; it was unclear whether these were the same attacks, and neither toll has been independently verified. Nyala serves as the administrative and military hub of the RSF and its allies, and the strikes come amid a war since April 2023 that has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced about 13 million.
