Sudan Airstrike Horror: 17 Lives, Including Five Children, Cut Short

An airstrike hit a residential area in Sudan’s capital Khartoum on Saturday, killing at least 17 people, including five children. The attack occurred in the densely populated Yarmouk district, where at least 25 houses were destroyed. The Sudanese health ministry posted a video on Facebook showing residents pulling out dead bodies from under the rubble. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) accused the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) of the airstrikes on the Mayo, Yarmouk, and Mandela neighborhoods in Khartoum. The conflict between the two Sudanese paramilitary groups has resulted in more than 3,000 deaths and 6,000 injuries across Sudan.

Several ceasefires have been announced to allow people to escape the fighting, but these have not been observed. The recent attack targeted civilians in Mayo, Yarmouk, and Mandela areas, according to the RSF. The conflict has plunged the African country into chaos and turned Khartoum and other urban areas into battlefields.
