Al Jazeera correspondent reported that the Sudanese army launched heavy artillery bombardments on the positions and gatherings of the Rapid Support Forces in the capital, Khartoum, last night.
Clouds of smoke covered much of the Sudanese capital for hours.
The journalist reported that the Sudanese army shelled with heavy artillery the rapid support sites in the cities of Khartoum and Khartoum Bahri, from its multiple sites in the city of Omdurman.
Local sources reported hearing loud explosions at these locations, especially near the armored corps.
Local sources in Khartoum city reported that Sudanese army aircraft launched simultaneous raids on rapid support sites near the Armored Corps, in the Jabra, Al-Sahafa, Al-Imtada, Al-Taif, Al-Riyadiyah and South Al-Hizam neighborhoods, south of Khartoum.
Artillery shelling also targeted rapid support sites in Al-Manshiya and Al-Jarif neighborhoods, Lahaj Youssef area, east of Khartoum, and sites in central and central Khartoum, such as Al-Muqrin and Al-Souq Al-Arabi areas.
It is noteworthy that the Sudanese army has been fighting the Rapid Support Forces since mid-April 2023.
The war between the two sides has left around 18,800 dead and nearly 10 million displaced and refugees, according to the United Nations.
Calls are growing from the UN and the international community to end the war, sparing Sudan a humanitarian catastrophe that has begun to plunge millions into starvation and death due to food shortages caused by fighting that has spread to 13 of the 18 states.
