Heavy gunfire and blasts were reported in Sudan’s capital Khartoum following days of tension between the armed forces and a powerful paramilitary group.
Shooting and blasts took place in the vicinity of Sudan’s army headquarters, the defence ministry, and the airport in Khartoum.
Loud explosions and gunfire were reported near a base held by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in south Khartoum.
Tensions stem from a disagreement over how RSF should be integrated into the military.
