Sudan: 31 Killed in Mosque Air Strike

A military air strike on a mosque killed 31 peple in Sudan’s central city of Wad Madani, according to reports.

The attack took place on Sunday evening, after prayers, in the city, which is the capital of Al-Jazira state, located just south of Khartoum.

The Wad Madani Resistance Committee, one of many volunteer groups providing aid across the war-torn country, shared the details in a statement on Tuesday.

The committee accused the army of using barrel bombs in the attack.

“More than half of the victims have yet to be identified, as rescue teams continue to search through the remains of dozens of charred and mutilated bodies,” reports said.

Since April 2023, Sudan has been devastated by conflict between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The fighting has led to tens of thousands of deaths and created one of the world’s worst displacement and humanitarian crises.
