Renewed RSF shelling killed several in Sudan's el-Fasher, says army

Khartoum [Sudan], May 13: The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have said the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) killed seven people in artillery shelling on el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state in western Sudan.
A statement from the military-aligned government said on Monday that the RSF shelling that began late on Sunday targeted residential neighbourhoods, killing seven people, including women and children, and wounding at least 15, who were taken to hospitals.
On Sunday, the army also said the RSF shelling in the city killed nine people. El-Fasher has witnessed intense fighting between SAF and RSF since May 2024, despite international warnings about the risks of violence in a city that serves as a key humanitarian hub for the five Darfur states. The RSF and the SAF have been locked in a brutal power struggle since April 2023, resulting in thousands of deaths. (Agencies)
