SAF, RSF Battle to Control Weapons, Fuel Depots in Khartoum

In a new development of the ongoing battle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), fierce fighting broke out on Wednesday, around the army's Yarmouk complex for weapons and ammunition in the south of Khartoum, near fuel and gas depots that are at risk of explosion. 

A massacre led to the killing of 12 civilians, and damage to buildings and property in a bombing of a market in Omdurman.

Witnesses said that RSF which is engaged in a power struggle against the army, for the eighth week, attacked the area that includes the Yarmouk complex late on Tuesday evening, before withdrawing after fierce fighting. Clashes continued until Wednesday morning.

The incident coincided with an air strike by the army's warplanes on areas south of the city of Omdurman, which left several civilians dead and injured, according to a statement issued by the Resistance Committee in the region.
