October 2024 Sudan airstrikes

The Sudanese human rights organization Emergency Lawyers stated that hundreds of people had been killed by the SAF and that it represented the army's "indifference to protecting defenseless civilians".

[1] The Yale Humanitarian Lab analyzed that new offensives conducted by the SAF against besieged RSF positions in al-Fashir, North Darfur, Khartoum, and other locations were the cause of the increased airstrikes.

SAF military aircraft dropped about six bombs on Hamra al-Sheikh's main market and on several residential neighborhoods, which local sources claimed did not contain any RSF presence.

Local sources stated that they were unable to count the victims and determine the scope of damages caused due to complete outages of communications and lack of available Starlink satellite internet terminals.

[5] Rapid Support Forces leader Hemedti accused the Egyptian government of involvement in the airstrikes by using United States-sent bombs to target positions near Jebel Moya, located the south of Khartoum.
