At least 39 people were killed in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur, on August 22, due to shelling that struck civilian homes amid ongoing battles between the army and Rapid Support Forces in Sudan that have persisted for more than four months. According to eyewitness accounts, the shelling in the railway neighborhood of Nyala resulted in the deaths of 39 individuals, mostly women and children, including a family that lost all its members.
