BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least 40 people in Sudan have been killed in a drone strike that targeted a funeral that was taking place outside the army-held city of el-Obeid in North Kordofan state, officials and activists say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They blamed the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for Monday’s attack on al-Luweib village as mourners had gathered in a tent. The RSF has not yet commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many reportedly died before getting to hospital in el-Obeid, a strategic city that connects the capital, Khartoum, to the western region of Darfur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fighting has intensified in this oil-rich Kordofan area and around 20,000 people fled to el-Obeid last week after the RSF captured Bara town, 30km (18 miles) north of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The town fell at the same time as the city of el-Fasher, which had been the army’s last stronghold in Darfur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There have since been reports of mass killings, sexual violence, abductions and widespread looting in el-Fasher by RSF fighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UN said summary executions of civilians by RSF fighters had also also been reported in Bara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
