Thirty-nine civilians were killed, most of them women and children, when shelling hit their homes on Tuesday in war-torn Sudan's vast western region of Darfur, medics and witnesses said. The sources said the attack occurred in Nyala, the capital of Darfur South state, from which 50,000 people have been forced to flee since August 11, according to the United Nations. Media reports said the shelling has killed five entire families in the area. Darfur has been plagued by deadly clashes since war erupted in the region 20 years ago.
