At least 17 people were killed, including five children, after an airstrike hit a residential area in Sudan’s capital Khartoum on Saturday, according to the country’s health ministry, hours before the United States and Saudi Arabia announced a 72-hour ceasefire. At least 25 houses were destroyed in the airstrike that hit the Yarmouk district, the ministry said on its Facebook page, where they posted a video showing residents pulling out dead bodies from under the rubble.
The agreement is the latest ceasefire agreement in the ongoing conflict between the two Sudanese paramilitary groups that forced US diplomatic staff to evacuate Sudan in April. The previous ceasefires haven’t stopped the fighting between rival factions. More than 3,000 people have been killed and 6,000 wounded across Sudan since violent clashes erupted between the SAF and RSF on April 15, Sudan’ Health Minister Haitham Ibrahim told Saudi-owned al-Hadath News Television Saturday.

Sudan officials say airstrike kills 17, including 5 children, in capital KhartoumSudanese health officials say an airstrike in Sudan’s capital Khartoum has killed at least 17 people, including five children as fighting continued between rival generals seeking to control the country. The attack was one of the deadliest of the clashes in urban areas of the city and elsewhere in Sudan between the military and a powerful paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces. There was no immediate comment Saturday from either side in the war and it was not clear whether the attack was by aircraft or a drone. The military’s aircraft have repeatedly targeted RSF troops and the RSF has reportedly used drones and anti-aircraft weapons against the military. The fighting broke out in mid-April.
