Sudan bombarded with air strikes as paramilitaries raid hospitals

Air strikes pummeled areas of Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, as violence began near a military installation in the city’s south.

The army has used air power and heavy artillery to try to drive back the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from residential areas of Khartoum and its adjoining cities of Bahri and Omdurman.

The Sudanese Doctors’ Syndicate accused the RSF of attacking three ambulances and arresting their drivers and a doctor in Khartoum.

The union said it had documented attacks on 20 hospitals.
