SUDAN: Five members of a United Nations convoy carrying aid to the war-torn Sudanese city of el-Fasher have been killed in an attack, UN agencies have said.

Several people were also injured and multiple trucks burnt in Monday night’s assault, which took place near el-Koma in the state of North Darfur, they added.

The two sides in Sudan’s gruelling civil war – the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the regular army – have accused each other of striking the UN convoy with drones.

The UN did not say how the attack happened, but called for an urgent investigation and for the perpetrators to be held to account.
