A Sudanese military airstrike on a market in a town in North Darfur resulted in over 100 deaths and left hundreds injured on Monday, according to a pro-democracy lawyers' group on Tuesday.

"The air strike took place on the town's weekly market day, where residents from various nearby villages had gathered to shop, resulting in the death of more than 100 people and injury of hundreds, including women and children," said the Emergency Lawyers, who have been documenting human rights abuses during the 20-month war between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
