The attack by the Rapid Support Forces on the Sabrein Market was the latest in a series of deadly attacks in the escalated civil war that has wrecked the northeastern African country.

Sudan’s health authorities say a notorious paramilitary group fighting against the country’s military has attacked an open market in the city of Omdurman.

Four paramilitary personnel were among five people killed when their vehicle was ambushed by the militants in Pakistan’s restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Sunday, police said. The incident happened in Dera Ismail Khan district bordering South Waziristan.
