At least 127 people, mostly civilians, were killed on Monday and Tuesday in Sudan as the warring sides launched barrel bombs and shelling on densely populated areas, rights activists reported.
The ongoing 20-month conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has escalated despite stalled ceasefire efforts.
The army has intensified airstrikes in areas controlled by the RSF, while the RSF has targeted villages with artillery fire. On Monday, more than eight barrel bombs hit the market in Kabkabiya, North Darfur, killing over 100 people, according to the Al-Fashir Resistance Committee.
Emergency Lawyers, a human rights group, confirmed the deaths and hundreds of injuries.
The army denied responsibility for the attack, asserting that it has the right to target any location used by the RSF for military purposes.
On Tuesday, RSF forces shelled an army-controlled area of Omdurman, part of Khartoum state, killing at least 20 people, including 14 passengers on a bus. The state government reported 65 deaths, with casualties transferred to Al-Naw Hospital.
The conflict has displaced millions, with famine declared in the Zamzam camp in North Darfur, where shelling on Tuesday killed seven people, according to Adam Rojal of the Coordinating Committee for Displaced People.
