The leader of Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), has launched an investigation into alleged violations by his soldiers during the capture of el-Fasher. This comes amid international outrage and reports of mass civilian killings following the RSF's takeover of the city in the Darfur region on Sunday.

• Approximately 500 civilians, including patients, were reportedly shot dead at the last partially functioning hospital in el-Fasher, according to the UN World Health Organization (WHO).
• The UN Security Council is expected to hold a meeting on Sudan, which is in its third year of civil war.
• Activists are demanding international pressure on the United Arab Emirates (UAE), accused of providing military support to the RSF, a claim the UAE denies.
