CAIRO (AP) — An airstrike blamed on the Sudanese military hit a local market in Sudan’s western region, igniting a huge fire and killing at least 54 people, aid groups said Tuesday.

The military denied targeting civilians.

The strike took place Monday in the village of Tora, north of el-Fasher, the capital city of North Darfur province, said Adam Rejal, a spokesman for the General Coordination, a local group helping displaced people in Darfur.
