Fighting breaks out in Sudanese capital
KHARTOUM, SUDAN - APRIL 15: Clashes erupted in the Sudanese capital on Saturday between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Gunfire and bombs were heard near the army headquarters and presidential palace, according to an Anadolu reporter in Khartoum.
The RSF said in a statement that its forces were in the Soba outskirt of the city, while army sources said the paramilitary force was attempting to seize the army headquarters.
The paramilitary force said its fighters had taken control of Khartoum airport and Merowe military base in northern Sudan.
For its part, the army accused the RSF fighters of attempting to attack its forces south of Khartoum.
The dispute between the two sides came to the surface on Thursday when the army said recent movements by the RSF had happened without coordination and were illegal.(Footage by Mahmoud Haggag Mahmoud Ali/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
