An airstrike by General al-Burhan’s army (SAF) on a local market in the North Kordofan town of Um Badr on Tuesday left dozens of civilians dead and injured, according to local sources.
Footage circulating online showed the moment of the strike and its devastating impact on the crowded marketplace, where many civilians were present at the time. Witnesses described scenes of panic as people fled for safety amid the destruction.
Emergency teams rushed to the scene to transport the wounded to nearby hospitals. Authorities have since cordoned off the area and closed the market, citing security concerns.
The attack comes as tensions continue to escalate in the region, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis faced by civilians. Local activists have condemned the strike, calling for the protection of non-combatants and urging the international community to intervene to uphold human rights.
