Sudan's army says it killed dozens of RSF fighters in Nyala; the RSF says civilians died

The army said Friday's air attacks hit positions and command centres of the Rapid Support Forces in Nyala, capital of South Darfur and seat of the paramilitary group's self-declared administration.

The RSF says an army drone struck a busy livestock market, killing 30 civilians, including 17 women and five children. It has not confirmed or denied losing fighters.

The rights group Emergency Lawyers said a market in Nyala was hit on Friday by a drone affiliated with the army.
