The trucks of the United Nations organization, which bear help with the Sudanese region of the North Darfur war, have been attacked with initial reports of “multiple casualties”, said a spokesman for the organization.
The Sudan government said “security guards, drivers and civilians” were killed in the attack, which accuses the Fast Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group struggling with the army in an exhausting civil war.
However, RSF has accused the army of the attack, which took place in the city of El-Koma on Monday night.
The UN did not say who was responsible, but explained that the convoy had been attacked while waiting to go to El-Fashire, an entertaining city where hunger conditions were reported.
El-Fasher is the last major place in Northern Darfur under army control. Civilians and military officials have been attacked by RSF for more than a year.
Four members of the UN convoy traveling to El-Fasher were killed on Monday night, and two more were injured, said RSF spokesman Basha Tabik in a post of X.
The El-Koma Emergency Department, a group of local volunteer answers, posted a video of a burned truck loaded with sacks of deliveries on Facebook. They blamed the attack on the “Sudanese Army Drones”.
El-Koma, which is controlled by RSF, has previously been the goal of frequent attacks in the conflict between the paramilitary group and the army.
The attacks on the city led to the death of civilians and damaged key infrastructure.
Emergency Department of El-Koma said at least 89 people were killed or injured after Sudanese military planes fired air strikes in the city on Sunday. The army did not respond to this accusation.
According to the Sudan Tribune News website, planes loaded a busy market in El-Com.
The war, which began more than two years ago, created one of the world’s most humanitarian crises.
On Tuesday, Eujin Byun, a spokesman for the UN Refugee Agency, said more than four million people have fled from the start of the conflict.
The Civil War broke out in 2023 after a vicious fight for power between the army and the RSF.
The two jointly organized a coup to derail Sudan’s transition to democracy before their commanders fell.
