Our sources have confirmed that gunfire was heard from ground-based anti-aircraft guns belonging to the Rapid Support Forces, in further violation of the recently extended armistice.
On Tuesday morning, the Rapid Support Forces announced that they had shot down a Sudanese army MiG plane, with violence continuing into the third week.
The Rapid Support Forces said in a statement that the military launched raids on “a number of residential areas in Khartoum” and “shot down a (MiG) aircraft”.
The announcement is the first of its kind since the start of the conflict in Sudan on April 15 between the army and the Rapid Support Forces.
