Battles have taken place throughout Sudan since Saturday, when a weeks-long power struggle between the army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), erupted into deadly violence.
Khartoum area
Key buildings and infrastructure have been damaged in fighting in the Sudanese capital. Major battle zones have included the military’s headquarters and the neighbouring airport.
This footage from Saturday shows a fighter jet flying low over civilian buildings near Khartoum international airport and a jet firing a missile over the city.
This footage shows rubble and damage to a home in Khartoum Bahri, which sits to the north of Khartoum, on the other side of the Blue Nile River.
This footage from Sunday shows a plane on fire at Khartoum airport.
And this footage from Tuesday shows the moment an explosion near the main military headquarters in the centre of the city was captured on live TV.
Each side already has tens of thousands of troops distributed around the districts of Khartoum and the city of Omdurman to west, on the opposite bank of the Nile River.
The rest of the country
The fighting has affected several parts of the country, including the western desert region of Darfur, which borders Chad and suffered warfare from 2003 that killed as many as 300,000 people and displaced 2.7 million.
The United Nations reported that at least 65 people have been killed in Darfur since Saturday, including in clashes involving heavy artillery. This photo shows smoke rising in the city of Al Fasher in North Darfur on Monday after clashes between the army and the RSF.
Eight people had been killed in Nyala, one of Sudan’s largest cities, located in South Darfur, the UN said.
This image taken on Monday shows destroyed aircraft at El Obeid airport, also known as Al-Ubayyid airport, in the centre of the country.
This shows damaged and destroyed MiG jets at the Merowe airbase. Fighting has been taking place around the strategic airbase 215 miles north-west of Khartoum.
