Violent clashes flare in conflict-torn Sudan
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AA): Violent clashes have resumed between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) military group in the capital Khartoum, according to witnesses.
Clashes were reported near the Armored Corps Basic School in south Khartoum during which army forces used artillery shelling to push back RSF fighters, the witnesses said.
Heavy fighting was also reported in the city of Bahri, north of Khartoum. Billows of smoke were seen rising from several areas in the city.
In the city of Omdurman, army forces launched a search operation for members of the paramilitary group, witnesses said.
Sudan has been ravaged by fighting between the army and RSF since April and the conflict has killed nearly 1,000 civilians and injured 5,000 others, according to local medics.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that the conflict has displaced more than 2.5 million people.
Several cease-fire initiatives mediated by Saudi and US mediators failed to halt the fighting between the two military rivals.
