Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces killed eight civilians in an attack on a bunker sheltering dozens in the besieged western city of El-Fasher, a doctor said Thursday.

Nearly all of Darfur, the vast western region of Sudan, remains under RSF control, with communications and media access cut off since the RSF's war with the army began in April 2023.
