Air strikes conducted by Sudan’s military in the Hamra al-Sheikh region of North Kordofan on Saturday resulted in the deaths of at least 30 individuals, according to legal sources.
The military targeted both Hamra al-Sheikh and Abu Zuama, key areas that connect Khartoum with the Darfur region, amid ongoing conflict.
Emergency Lawyers, a human rights organization, reported that the air raids injured over 100 people, as warplanes dropped approximately six bombs on civilian neighborhoods and the main market in Hamra al-Sheikh.
This attack has raised concerns over the frequency and intensity of strikes in these areas.
Local residents disputed claims of a military presence from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the region, stating that there had been no recent military activity or aircraft operations.
This strike follows previous reports from January, where multiple air raids targeted residential sectors, resulting in significant civilian casualties.
The continuous bombardments in Hamra al-Sheikh and surrounding locales have led to many residents fleeing to nearby villages, which are devoid of essential services.
Humanitarian concerns grow as the conflict escalates, leaving communities in distress and in dire need of assistance.
