Separately, Sudanese military air raids on Nyala killed at least 40 civilians and wounded roughly 60, according to a medical source. Eyewitnesses reported that this coincided with the Sudanese army conducting overflights.
Fighting flared again on Tuesday in Nyala between the military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). They exchanged artillery bombardment and clashed with heavy weapons in the vicinity of a military area.
The Nyala Emergency Room Initiative said on Facebook that the raids on the Almalaja market and other areas led to casualties among civilians. The tally could not be carried out due to heavy clashes between the military and the RSF.
Witnesses reported the death of at least eight people, adding that the RSF was not deployed in the targeted areas.
The East Nile Emergency Room in Khartoum said that 45 people were killed and 120 injured in the raids and drone attacks that targeted areas in El- Haj Yousif, El Wihda, and Dar es Salaam in the past two days.
In a Facebook post, it stressed that these are "preliminary" figures.
Meanwhile, residents revealed that army drones launched strikes on the RSF locations in the East Nile areas and towns in Nasir Extension in east Khartoum.
Eyewitnesses reported that they heard an exchange of artillery bombardment and fierce clashes between the army and the RSF in Omdurman.
