Heavy clashes and artillery fire have erupted across Sudan’s capital Khartoum and residents reported air strikes soon after the end of a 24-hour ceasefire that brought a brief lull to eight weeks of fighting between rival military factions.

Witnesses said the fighting on Sunday between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) was some of the heaviest for weeks.
