The death toll from Sudan's recent violence does not exceed 46, state news agency SUNA reported early on Thursday citing a health ministry official.
Opposition doctors said 40 bodies that had been pulled out of the Nile on Tuesday were among the 108 killed.
The bodies were taken to an unknown destination by pickup trucks belonging to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, the medics said. Reuters was not immediately able to verify the report.
The military council said on Twitter that some Rapid Support Forces members had been attacked and that people had put on their uniforms to impersonate them in an attempt to harm their reputation.
