The Unfolding Conflict
The battlefront stretches across Khartoum, where both sides have resorted to deploying aviation and heavy artillery in their efforts to gain the upper hand. The streets of Bahri and Omdurman are not spared from the relentless fighting either.
A Disputed Attack
The Sudanese army claims to have successfully repelled an attack on its central headquarters located in the heart of the capital. This encounter reportedly resulted in the loss of dozens of enemy combatants. However, the Rapid Support Forces have remained tight-lipped about any casualties on their side.
Structures Engulfed in Flames
The consequences of this renewed violence are evident in the destruction of several buildings, including the fiery demise of an 18-story tower belonging to an oil company.
Civilians Caught in the Crossfire
As the battles rage on, the fate of the civilian population remains uncertain. Evacuations have been carried out primarily in the city center, but skirmishes continue in adjacent areas.
Food Supplies at Risk
It is worth recalling that prior reports indicated that food supplies in various Sudanese provinces were dwindling due to the ongoing conflict.
