Media outlets reported that warplanes flew south of Khartoum this evening, Tuesday, with ground anti-aircraft missiles responding heavily to those planes.
Al-Jazeera correspondents reported the renewed clashes with heavy weapons between the army and the Rapid Support Forces in the city of El-Fasher, the center of North Darfur state, after the humanitarian truce in Sudan entered into force.
And social media circulated video clips confirming that explosions and sounds of heavy weapons were heard in separate areas of Khartoum, despite the start of the truce.
For its part, the Rapid Support Forces, led by Hemedti, said that they had monitored sporadic attacks on their units in the Khartoum areas during the first hours of the truce.
Both parties to the conflict in Sudan, the army and the Rapid Support Forces, had agreed to a 24-hour cease-fire starting this evening, Tuesday, after pressure from US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken regarding the raging battles between the two parties in Khartoum, which included a shooting incident at US diplomatic convoy, according to Reuters.
