Dozens killed in Sudan market attack

At least 35 people have been killed after a crowded market in Sudan's capital was hit by an "explosive weapon", a medical charity says.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) described it as "devastation", saying more than 60 people had also been injured in the attack.

Local residents say a military jet bombed the Qouro market in southern Khartoum on Sunday.

Rival military factions have been fighting since April.

On Sunday, MSF emergency coordinator Marie Burton said Khartoum "has been at war for almost six months".

Sudan plunged into civil war in April.
An estimated five million people have been forced from their homes and thousands have been killed. Khartoum and the western Darfur region have been worst hit by the conflict.

The RSF controls most of Khartoum and the neighboring towns of Omdurman and Bahri.

The military has repeatedly carried out airstrikes in an attempt to regain control of the cities.

An airstrike killed at least 20 people, including two children, about a week ago, activists said.

The US, Saudi Arabia and other countries have tried to mediate to end the conflict, but without success./ CNA
