Violent clashes erupted in Bahri, Sudan, between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Bahri, also known as Khartoum North, is part of the capital region.
Reports indicate that the army successfully repelled a significant offensive by the RSF against a military installation on Saturday.
The increase in hostilities follows the recent recapture of the state broadcaster’s headquarters by the army.
Recent developments suggest that the army has gained ground, solidifying control over much of Omdurman, located next to Khartoum across the Nile River.
Amidst the escalating conflict, the United Nations issued an urgent appeal to both sides, urging them to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to prevent a looming hunger crisis described as catastrophic.
