Sudan's military said Saturday it seized several key buildings in central Khartoum, including the central bank, from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, following its recapture of the presidential palace. "Our forces achieved further success last night, eliminating hundreds of militia members who tried to escape through pockets in central Khartoum," army spokesman Nabil Abdallah said in a statement to AFP, listing the buildings recaptured, including the central bank.
The army and allied armed groups retook the presidential palace on Friday from the RSF, which retaliated with a drone strike that killed three journalists and several army personnel.
Army sources said Friday RSF fighters had fled into buildings in Al-Mogran, an area just west of the palace housing banks and business headquarters.
The paramilitary forces had posted snipers in the district's high-rises, which overlook both Omdurman across the Nile River and the ministries of central Khartoum.
