Sudan's paramilitary kills at least 40 people as fighting spreads into Kordofan region

APTOPIX Sudan - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

An attack by Sudan's paramilitary force on the city of el-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan province, killed at least 40 civilians, local media reported, following reports of atrocities elsewhere in the region as the two-year war intensifies.

The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said dozens were injured in Monday's attack but didn't specify the perpetrators. It warned that the humanitarian situation across Kordofan was worsening. The Sudan Tribune and other media said the RSF launched drone strikes targeting a funeral service in el-Obeid on Monday, killing the civilians.
