At least 127 people, primarily civilians, were killed in Sudan on Monday and Tuesday due to barrel bombings and shelling by the warring factions, according to rights activists.
The conflict, which has raged for 20 months between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has grown increasingly violent as ceasefire negotiations falter and global attention shifts elsewhere.
Both sides have intensified attacks, with the army launching airstrikes in RSF-controlled areas and the RSF conducting village raids and heavy artillery strikes, often targeting densely populated civilian zones.
On Monday, over eight barrel bombs struck a market in Kabkabiya, North Darfur, killing more than 100 people and wounding hundreds, according to the pro-democracy Al-Fashir Resistance Committee and the human rights group Emergency Lawyers.
The army, which has repeatedly bombed towns in North Darfur as part of its battle to reclaim the state capital, Al-Fashir, denied involvement in the attack, claiming its right to target RSF military sites.
The RSF did not immediately comment.
Images shared by Emergency Lawyers depicted shrouded bodies in a mass grave, while verified video footage showed bloodied bodies, burning wreckage, and victims being carried away from destroyed stalls.
