The Sudanese Armed Force resumed air assaults on different areas in provinces of North and South Darfur on Wednesday. Witnesses told Radio Dabanga that herdsmen and farmers in Mnoacy, Marshenq, Khor Abeche and the Hamada forests in South Darfur fled their villages. They left their cattle unattended and took refuge in the mountains and valleys, after hearing the sound of shelling and seeing smoke. These witnesses reported fatal casualties, loss of property and livestock. Due to the continuous shelling by Antonovs, and missile attacks, from early morning until the evening, witnesses from Mnoacy could not determine the exact numbers of losses.

Mohammed Ahmed Jacob, secretary of Humanitarian Affairs of the Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM) asserted that the bombings were directed at Kerubino. Abouhmrh Linda and Abokora commented that the air attacks led to the burning of several houses in the valley, and to the death of a huge number of livestock.
