Ten civilians have been killed in a paramilitary air attack on a hospital in the besieged regional capital of al-Fashir in southwestern Sudan, according to a local activist group coordinating aid across the country.

A drone attack on the same hospital on Friday killed nine people and forced the hospital to close temporarily.

The city, with around two million inhabitants, has seen fierce clashes as the regular army and paramilitary RSF (Rapid Support Forces) have fought to secure a foothold in the large Darfur region.

Almost the entire region has been controlled by RSF for some time, which has also taken over areas in the neighboring region of Kordofan as well as large parts of central Sudan.

The war in Sudan has killed tens of thousands of people and driven more than eleven million to flee.
