At least 80 killed in Sudan town massacre, likely by RSF in retaliation for commander's defection.

A massacre in Sudan's al-Seriha town, part of Gezira state, resulted in at least 80 deaths, with the UN suggesting a potential toll of 124. The attack is believed to be a response to the defection of a senior Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander to the Sudanese army. BBC Verify identified RSF fighters in videos boasting of the attack, despite the RSF denying involvement. Human rights groups have condemned the widespread atrocities in the conflict between Sudan's military and the RSF.
