The army has said that RSF fighters are trying to seize the military headquarters.
" Fighters from the Rapid Support Forces attacked several army camps in Khartoum and elsewhere around Sudan, " the AFP news agency is quoting army spokesman Brig Gen Nabil Abdallah.
" Clashes are ongoing and the army is carrying out its duty to safeguard the country. "
