Text: Two Drone Strikes on Nyala Markets in One Week Nyala's markets have been hit by two separate drone strikes within one week, causing massive destruction and one confirmed civilian death. Incident 1: Mawgaf Jeneina Market – April 27, 2026 On Monday evening, April 27, at around 10:00 PM, a drone airstrike struck the perfumes and cosmetics section of Mawgaf Jeneina Market in Nyala, South Darfur. A large fire broke out following the strike and quickly spread to the clothing section (locally known as "Al-gogo") and the dairy market. The blaze destroyed more than 100 shops, causing heavy material losses for traders whose livelihoods depend on these market stalls. Incident 2: Livestock Market – April 24, 2026 Three days earlier, Nyala's livestock market was hit by a drone strike that targeted a cargo vehicle in the Qasharat Market, reportedly belonging to the Rapid Support Forces. The attack caused a fire and injured a civilian identified as Nasser. Nasser was taken to the Turkish Hospital in Nyala for treatment but later died from his injuries.
