A drone strike on a central Sudan market has killed 11 civilians and injured dozens, escalating the toll of one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.

The attack targeted the main market in Abu Zaeima, a paramilitary-controlled town in North Kordofan state, according to the Emergency Lawyers, a rights group.

The group said similar drone attacks had struck nearby villages and civilian vehicles less than a day earlier.

Drone warfare has become an increasingly prominent feature of Sudan's conflict, with the UN reporting at least 880 civilians killed in drone strikes nationwide between January and April.

Fighting has intensified in Kordofan and Blue Nile state near the Ethiopian border since the RSF captured El-Fasher last October.
