Market is near one of the main camps in the Sudanese capital where the paramilitary RSF has been fighting the military.
The Sudanese military has carried out an air strike on a marketplace in the capital Khartoum, killing at least 23 people, says a local network of volunteer rescuers.
More than 40 others were said to be wounded, the Southern Belt emergency room said on Sunday in a post on Facebook.
“Some of them are in critical condition. This is the result of the military air bombing of Khartoum central market yesterday [Saturday] afternoon,” it said, quoting witnesses at the market area.
The market is near one of the main camps in the Sudanese capital where the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has been fighting the military, in a civil war that has killed tens of thousands of people.
Fierce fighting has raged since Friday around Khartoum, much of which is controlled by the RSF, with the military hitting the centre and south of the city from the air.
