There was another heavy exchange of gunfire in the Jabra neighbourhood of west Khartoum, where homes belonging to paramilitary leader General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, widely known as Hemedti, and his family are located, a Reuters reporter said.Blasts also rang out from the main airport, shut down after the conflict burst out of a power struggle between Burhan and Hemedti over a plan to integrate Hemedti’s Rapid Support Forces into the regular military.
Gunfire rattled in the south of the city, a Reuters witness said, while the army appeared to retake a key military airport in Sudan’s north, images on TV network al Arabiya showed.At least 270 people have died and 2,600 have been injured, Sudan’s health ministry estimates. Nine hospitals have been hit by artillery and 16 had to be evacuated, the Sudanese Doctors’ Union said, with none operating fully inside the capital.
Chad’s armed forces disarmed 320 Sudanese soldiers who had entered its territory on Monday, its defence minister said, adding that Chad did not want to be involved in the conflict. With planes smouldering on the runway of Khartoum’s international airport, evacuations looked difficult for now.
