At least 13 civilians were killed and 21 others injured on Friday as a result of artillery shelling by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state in western Sudan, volunteer groups said.



"Thirteen people, including 3 children, were killed and 21 others injured due to a deliberate artillery shelling by the RSF on El Fasher this Friday morning," the Sudanese Doctors Network, a volunteer group, said in a statement.



"The shelling and tightening siege on the city directly target thousands of children, women, and the elderly, in clear defiance of all international calls to de-escalate and lift the siege," it said, calling on both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the RSF to implement a humanitarian truce.
