On Thursday morning, the Sudanese Air Force launched bombing raids, during which the Rapid Support Forces were stationed, which responded with ground anti-aircraft fire. The bombing included eastern Khartoum, in the vicinity of Al-Sittin Street, and the East Nile area.
According to eyewitnesses, clashes with heavy weapons were heard south of Omdurman.
The fighting, which took place on Thursday morning, constitutes a violation of the recent truce declared by the two parties to the conflict, as the army carried out Thursday morning and Wednesday evening, during the validity of the truce, bombing sorties during which it bombed locations for the rapid support station around the vicinity of the Halfaya Bridge north of Bahri, and Omdurman in the areas of Umbada, Woodal Bashir, Al-Ardah Street and Al-Souq. pdf.
