Despite a renewed ceasefire, fighting between two rival military units in Sudan continued on Tuesday evening. A reporter on the scene reported that paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched an attack on an army air base north of the capital Khartoum shortly after the ceasefire began.
There were also airstrikes and artillery shelling in and around the capital on Tuesday night, according to media reports. In the early morning hours of Tuesday, however, the situation seemed calm for now.
Representatives of the Sudanese military and the RSF agreed on a ceasefire on Saturday to take effect at 9:45 p.m. Monday.
Both sides had signed a corresponding agreement, which was brokered by the US and Saudi Arabia.

On April 15, a protracted power struggle in the country on the Horn of Africa escalated violently.

The two generals seized power together in 2021, but later fell apart.
