🔻Fierce fighting in Khartoum
The Sudanese Armed Forces were able to regain control over the building of the General Staff and the capital's airport. During the fighting, fuel depots were damaged, as a result of which large fires began, which are still raging.
▪️It is reported that large reinforcements of government forces have approached the borders of the city. The exact number of equipment is not specified, but there are reports that about 100 vehicles with soldiers of the armed forces were seen near Khartoum.
▪️Rebels from the Rapid Reaction Force were able to repulse the attack on their positions in the Jabra area, gaining a foothold there. Meanwhile, between the army and the RRF, clashes continue for the Presidential Palace with the use of artillery and heavy equipment.

🔻Other events
▪️ The head of the Wagner private military company Yevgeny Prigozhin, in response to a question from The Washington Post, said that the Wagnerites do not take part in the internal political conflict in Sudan.
The parties to the conflict agreed to organize another 24-hour truce, which began at 18:00 local time. However, previous experience shows that the peace is unlikely to last long.
▪️The authorities of Germany, China, Japan and Russia said that they cannot yet evacuate their citizens from the country due to the active work of air defense and battles for airports. However, they are considering measures that can be taken to rescue fellow citizens from Sudan.
