The Emergency Lawyers group - which documents abuses by both sides in Sudan's civil war that erupted in April 2023 - said the bombing of Tur'rah market was a "horrific massacre" that had also left hundreds injured.

Videos posted on social media - some by the army's rival the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group that controls much of Darfur - showed the smoking ruins of market stalls and bodies charred beyond recognition.

The BBC has not been able to confirm the death toll or the exact date of the attack on the market, which is located about 35km (21 miles) north of the army-held city of el-Fasher.

A Darfur activist group - the Darfur Initiative for Justice and Peace - said it happened on Monday and called it the "deadliest single bombing since the beginning of the war".
