At least 40 civilians were killed in an air raid on war-torn Sudan's western region of Darfur on Wednesday, according to a medical source, as army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan headed to Turkey.
"Forty civilians have been killed in an air strike that hit two markets and a number of the city's neighbourhoods," the medical source told AFP from a hospital in Nyala, the capital of South Darfur. The source asked for anonymity out of security concerns.
