Drone strike on Nyala market kills at least 21 as famine warnings grow

A Monday evening drone attack on a market in northern Nyala, Darfur, killed at least 21 people and injured 40, according to a resident. On Tuesday the US, EU and 30 other countries warned of famine risk in Sudan and urged the warring parties to lift all impediments to aid. A year after the RSF captured El-Fasher, at least 6,000 civilians are reported to have been killed as the rebel troops entered the city.

• RSF drones struck five power stations in Al-Jazira, Gedaref and White Nile states on Monday, causing outages across large parts of the three army-held states, an official said.
• A drone strike killed at least four people last week in Bamina, Chad, where hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees have crossed the border.
• On Monday, the El Fasher anniversary, the UK imposed travel bans and asset freezes on commanders from both sides suspected of sexual violence during the siege.
