The Sudanian presidential palace in Central Khartoum was fired yesterday by paramilitary swift support forces (RSF), and military sources say that this is the second such attack on the capital in a week.
In a two-year war with the Army, the RSF used a “long-range gun” that began from a hold-out position in Al-Salha, located south of the twin city of Khartoum Omdurman.
There were no immediate reports of victims.
On Saturday, the RSF used long-range artillery fire to target the Army Command headquarters in central Khartoum, military sources said. The attack comes weeks after the army ousted the RSF out of Central Khartoum.
In a major military attack in March, the Army regained control of the Presidential Palace, the airport and other strategic areas of the capital.
However, RSF is still stuck in its final control pockets in the southern and western parts of Omdurman.
Since April 2023, the war in Sudan has killed tens of thousands, uprooted 13 million, and created the world’s largest hunger and refuge.
The conflict effectively divides the country into two, with the Army retaining the centre, the east and the north, and the RSF controls almost everything in Darfur and the South. -NAMPA/AFP
