An Iraqi citizen was killed in Sudan on Sunday amid the fighting there, according to Iraq's state news agency, which cited a foreign ministry spokesperson.

Sudan's sudden slide into conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has stranded thousands of foreigners, including diplomats and aid workers, and countries are working to evacuate their nationals.

More than 420 people, including 264 civilians, have been killed and more than 3,700 have been wounded in the fighting.

The conflict has left millions sheltering in their homes from explosions, gunfire and looting without adequate electricity, food or water.

The ISIS militant group said on Monday it killed five Kurdish fighters in an attack in eastern Syria's Deir Ezzor, according to the group's news agency.

The spokesperson for Syria's Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces Farhad Shami confirmed to Reuters that five members were killed in the attack which he described as "one of deadliest" against the group in a while.

Deir Ezzor city was captured by the ISIS group in 2014, but the Syrian army retook it in 2017.

Former ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared a so-called “caliphate” over a quarter of Syria and Iraq in 2014 before he was killed in a raid by US special forces in northwest Syria in 2019 as the group collapsed.

It has been recently trying to stage a comeback in the Middle East, the West and Asia.
