Sudanese army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan visited its strategic headquarters in central Khartoum on Sunday in his first appearance there since government forces claimed to have broken a months-long siege by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Sudan's army chief visited on Sunday his headquarters in the capital Khartoum, two days after forces recaptured the building, which had been encircled by paramilitary fighters since the war erupted in April 2023.

At least 70 people were killed after a drone strike targeted the last functioning hospital in the besieged capital of Sudan’s North Darfur state late Friday, according to local officials and the World Health Organization.

The RSF did not immediately acknowledge the attack in El Fasher, which is over 800 kilometers southwest of Khartoum.

Earlier, at least 18 civilians were killed and five others injured in an attack by the paramilitary RSF on a village in North Darfur State in western Sudan, a government official said.
