The mission reports ground and aerial bombings by the Government continued Tuesday morning approximately nine kilometers from El Fasher, North Darfur, in an attempt to clear the area of armed movements who had advanced towards the outskirts of the city on Monday.
There have been no reports of civilian deaths or casualties.
El Fasher airport has re-opened but movement of personnel remains restricted.

UNAMID also reports that fighting between the Government and the Justice and Equality Movement also continued in Muhajeriya, South Darfur resulting in approximately 3,000 people gathering around the UNAMID camp seeking shelter and protection.
Three civilians were reportedly injured and are currently receiving treatment at the MSF hospital.
