A French news agency AFP reported that an airstrike on a market in Sudan’s Darfur region killed more than 100 people.
Sudan’s war monitor blamed the army for the attack in the country’s west on Tuesday, the report said.
The Emergency Lawyers Group, a group of volunteer legal professionals who have documented atrocities on both sides of Sudan’s nearly two-year civil war, said the army carried out airstrikes that killed civilians and seriously injured several others, the agency said.
It did not specify when the attacks took place.
AFP was unable to confirm the death toll due to a telecommunications blackout in Darfur. The army did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the attacks.
Almost all of Darfur is under the control of the RSF. But the United States accused the army on Monday of committing “genocide” there.
The vast Darfur region has seen the worst of the war, with barrel bombs dropped on civilian areas, paramilitary attacks on famine-stricken displaced camps and widespread ethnic violence.
Paramilitaries have deployed heavily armed drones in Darfur. However, the army maintains its dominance in the skies by regularly striking RSF positions across the region with warplanes.
The army has been fighting the paramilitary Rapid Support Force (RSF) since April 2023. The war has killed thousands and displaced more than 12 million people.
