An airstrike targeted a market in Omdurman, Sudan, which is adjacent to the Nile River and the country's capital, Khartoum.

The Sudanese Health Ministry clarified in a statement that "34 people were killed among the traders in the market in Omdurman as a result of the indiscriminate shelling," noting that there were children among the victims.

According to the ministry, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces have not yet issued official statements regarding the airstrike that occurred on Tuesday night.

Calls for a solution to the escalating clashes in Sudan have been increasing for hours as the third month of the clashes' outbreak approaches. Human Rights Watch called on the International Criminal Court yesterday to investigate "war crimes" committed in the Darfur region.

Simultaneously, the United Nations warned that Sudan is "on the verge of a comprehensive civil war" that could destabilize the entire region.

US Ambassador to Khartoum, John Godfrey, warned that "the victory of either of the warring parties militarily will result in an unacceptable human cost and harm to the country."

Since its outbreak on April 15th, the fighting has continued between the army led by Commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo without any prospects for de-escalation.

The conflict has resulted in the deaths of more than 2,800 people. According to the latest United Nations statistics, the conflict in Sudan has displaced approximately 3 million people, including about 700,000 who crossed the border to neighboring countries, especially Egypt to the north and Chad to the west.
