RSF says it has seized control presidential palace and army chief's residence

Sudan's powerful paramilitary group, the RSF, say they have seized control over the presidential palace, the army chief's residence and the airport in Khartoum, following clashes with the military.

The RSF said it had also taken over two other airports, in the northern city of Merowe and El-Obeid in the south.

Middle East Eye could not independently verify the RSF’s claims.

For its part, the army has denied the reports and says it still controls all bases and airports.
