At least 13 civilians were killed and 19 others wounded on Monday when the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) targeted residential neighborhoods in El Fasher, capital of North Darfur State in western Sudan, with artillery bombardment, according to volunteer groups.

The Sudan Doctors Network said in a statement that the casualties included seven children and a pregnant woman, and that there are more bodies and injuries trapped in the affected areas, with the exact number unknown. It condemned the attack as "a full-fledged war crime."
