Explosions rock the Sudanese capital Khartoum as fighting between the army and paramilitary forces led by rival generals rage for a third day, with the death toll rising to nearly 100
Violence forces terrified Sudanese civilians to shelter in their homes with fears of prolonged conflict that could plunge country into deeper chaos.
The intense conflict, which has seen air strikes, tanks on the streets, artillery fire and heavy gunfire in crowded neighbourhoods both in Khartoum and other cities across Sudan, has triggered international demands for an immediate ceasefire. The World Health Organization warned that "several" of Khartoum's nine hospitals receiving injured civilians "have run out of blood, transfusion equipment, intravenous fluids and other vital supplies."
The two sides accuse the other of starting the fighting, and both claim the upper hand by declaring control of key sites, including the airport and the presidential palace – none of which could be independently verified.
