A power struggle between Sudan’s army and a notorious paramilitary force has rocked the country.
Reportedly 27 are dead including three United Nations employees and nearly 200 injured.
Residents dodged gunfire in the capital, Khartoum, as rival forces battled over the presidential palace, state TV, and army headquarters.
The UN workers were shot after the two sides exchanged gunfire at a military base.
The clashes erupted after tensions over a proposed transition to civilian rule.
Violence was also reported elsewhere in the country, including in cities in the Darfur region.
The army said jets were hitting RSF bases, and the country’s air force told people to remain in their homes on Saturday night while it conducted a full aerial survey of paramilitary activity.
