 At least 22 killed in RSF attack on Sudan's al-Fashir, activist group says

It later said a total of 97 people were killed or injured in the assault.


The RSF dismissed the report and said it did not clash with the army or allied groups in al-Fashir.


The city is the national army's last remaining position in the Darfur region, and a key front in its war with the RSF that has turned Sudan into the world's worst humanitarian crisis.


More than 300,000 people have fled their homes in al-Fashir as a result of fighting that began in April, the United Nations has said.
