Around 40 people were killed in the town of Omdurman near Khartoum in Sudan on Thursday, according to democracy activists.
“So far, the death toll is estimated at 40 civilians and there are more than 50 injured, some seriously,” the Karari Resistance Committee wrote in a statement, blaming the attack on the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The group is one of hundreds of grassroots movements in the country that coordinate relief efforts.
On Wednesday there were reports that around 100 people have been killed in an attack on a village in central Sudan.
The civil war in Sudan broke out in April last year, when the former partners in the army and the RSF began fighting each other.
Officially, around 14,000 people have been killed in the conflict, but the real death toll is believed to be much higher.
