More than 70 people were killed when Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces carried out a drone strike on a mosque in al-Fashir, the capital of North Darfur state, during prayers, the country's Sovereignty Council said on Friday.

The attack comes amid the latest bout of violence in a civil war entering its third year between the Sudanese army and RSF.
