        More than 50 people were killed and over 200 injured Friday in an attack by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on a village in central Sudan, according to non-governmental groups.
        
        "On Friday morning, the RSF militia heavily shelled and bombarded Alseriha village of Al Kamlin locality," said the resistance committee, a volunteer group in Wad Madani, the capital city of the Gezira state.
        
        It added, "More than 53 citizens of Alseriha village were killed and over 200 others injured, some of them in critical condition."
        
        Since dawn Friday, an RSF force stormed Alseriha village of Al Kamlin locality, north of Gezira State, set up its weapons and cannons on top of high buildings, and started shooting at unarmed citizens, said the Gezira Conference, a non-governmental group, in a statement.
        
        Sudan's Foreign Ministry condemned the RSF's "retaliatory campaigns" against the villages and cities of Gezira state in a statement on Friday.
