Attacks by Sudan's army and its paramilitary foes on two towns in the western Darfur region over the past week have killed 114 people, medical sources told AFP Sunday. A medical source reported Sunday that 51 people were killed the day before in drone strikes attributed to the army on the North Darfur town of Al-Zuruq, 180 kilometres (112 miles) north of the RSF-overrun state capital El-Fashir. "Two of the Daglo family were killed, Moussa Saleh Daglo and Awad Moussa Saleh Daglo," an eyewitness to the burial told AFP. Much of the worst fighting has been in Darfur, reviving memories of mass ethnic atrocities committed in the 2000s by the Janjaweed, the RSF's predecessor. Drone strikes on North Kordofan capital El-Obeid caused a power outage, the national electricity company said.
