Violent clashes have intensified today, Thursday, with heavy weaponry in Sudan, accompanied by a significant presence of military aircraft, leading to fires and the rise of flames and smoke in oil depots. The fires have been raging since yesterday at the "Ammunition" factory and oil depots, as well as the "Yarmouk" munitions factory and "Armored Vehicles" weaponry in the "Shajara" area, south of the capital, Khartoum.
The Rapid Support Forces announced their complete control over the "Yarmouk" military industries factory. The U.S. envoy to the international coalition stated that the developments in Sudan are concerning on both humanitarian and security levels.
The RSF reported that they have achieved "full control over the complex and ammunition depots," indicating that army soldiers fled, leaving behind "quantities of military equipment and vehicles."
