Officials report that an air strike in the capital of Sudan, Khartoum, has killed seventeen people, including five children.
The strike on Saturday in the heavily populated Yarmouk district resulted in the destruction of 25 homes.
The threat to intensify attacks against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces was made by a senior army general the day before.
A vicious power struggle within the military hierarchy of the country led to fighting between the Sudanese army and the RSF in the middle of April.
According to a doctors' union, there have been close to 1,000 civilian deaths and numerous injuries.
To help people flee the fighting, several ceasefires have been declared, but they have not been followed.
According to the RSF, the recent attack specifically targeted civilians in the areas of Mayo, Yarmouk, and Mandela. The army has made no remarks.
Tens of thousands of civilians have crossed into neighboring Chad since the start of the conflict.
Hospitals and doctors there have been overworked and strained to keep up.
In the western Darfur region of Sudan, the conflict has also reignited a two-decade-old conflict.
