Heavy bombardments also rang out in the adjoining cities of Omdurman and Bahri.

The army said it was ready to abide by a new seven-day ceasefire, but there’s been no word from the rival paramilitary, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The military said it killed RSF fighters and destroyed a number of vehicles “belonging to the rebels”, after clashing with the group in the Bahri military region.

It is reportedly trying to push the RSF back from the area around the presidential palace and the army headquarters.

The United Nations aid chief, Martin Griffiths, said the determination of the warring parties to keep fighting risked turning the conflict into a global tragedy.
