An airstrike in Sudan has killed at least 22 people, authorities said, one of the deadliest attacks in an ongoing fight between rival generals.

A federal appeals court has temporarily reversed a lower court’s ruling that had prohibited Tennessee from enacting a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

The RSF blamed the military for striking residential areas in Omdurman, where fighting has raged between the warring factions, according to residents. The military has reportedly attempted to cut off a crucial supply line for the paramilitary force there.Two Omdurman residents said it was difficult to determine which side was responsible for the attack.

At the time of the attack early Saturday, the military was hitting the RSF, which took people’s houses as shields, and the RSF fired anti-aircraft rounds at the attacking warplanes, said Abdel-Rahman, one of the residents who asked to use only his first name for his safety. The conflict broke out in mid-April, capping months of increasing tensions between the leaders of the military and the RSF.

Officials said last month that the clashes have killed over 3,000 people and wounded over 6,000 others. More than 2.9 million people have fled their homes to safer areas inside Sudan or crossed into neighboring countries, according to U.N. figures.The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
