Sudanese officials and rights groups say insurgent attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Force have killed hundreds of civilians, including infants, in White Nile state.

Activists said three days of attacks by the paramilitary group had killed more than 200 people in White Nile state, which has emerged as a key battleground as the army regains territory.

Sudan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the paramilitary group targeted civilians in the past few days in villages in the al-Gitaina area.
