Baku, January 6, AZERTAC
At least 10 people were killed and 30 others injured on Sunday in an airstrike that targeted an area south of the Sudanese capital Khartoum, Xinhua reported citing volunteer group and local media.
"Ten people were killed and 30 others injured, including five cases of first-degree burns, after an airstrike targeted the Al-Sahrij station in the Mayo neighborhood, south of Khartoum," the South Khartoum Emergency Room, a local volunteer group, said in a statement.
The group noted that the Al-Sahrij station had been bombarded three times within one month, pointing out that the area is usually crowded with civilians, as it contains a market and several food shops.
For its part, the Sudanese news portal Al-Rakoba reported on Sunday that most of the injured in the airstrike were transferred to Bashair Hospital, located approximately 4 km from the site of the incident.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Sudan has been gripped by a devastating civil conflict since mid-April 2023, which has claimed at least 29,683 lives and displaced over 14 million people, according to the latest estimates by international organizations.
