Karim Khan told the United Nations Security Council on Monday that crimes are being committed in Darfur “as we speak and daily” and are being used as a weapon of war.

At least seven people were killed and 11 others injured in artillery shelling by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group in western Sudan on Wednesday, according to a local activist group.

The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court says his office will be seeking arrest warrants for those accused of atrocities in Sudan’s West Darfur region, which has seen reported ethnic cleansing by paramilitary forces that have been fighting government forces for 19 months.

The RSF did not immediately acknowledge the attack in El Fasher, which is over 800 kilometers southwest of Khartoum.
