A drone attack on an open market south of Sudan’s capital Khartoum killed at least 43 people, activists and medical workers have said, as the military and a powerful paramilitary group battle for control of the country.

More than 55 others were injured in the attack in Khartoum’s May neighbourhood, where paramilitary forces battling the military were heavily deployed, the Sudan Doctors’ Union said in a statement. The causalities were taken to the Bashair University Hospital for treatment.
