The attack occurs when Sudanese forces are pushed forward to fully control the capital.
Paramilitary artillery fire at a mosque in eastern Khartoum killed at least five people and injured dozens, according to a group of lawyers for the Sudanian democracy.
The attack on Monday, which was condemned of paramilitary swift support forces (RSF) during an evening Tarawee prayer at a mosque in the East Nile district of Khartoum, said the Emergency Lawyers Network (SAF) documenting abuses by both the RSF and the Sudanese army.
This is the second reported attack on civilians on Friday as the RSF lost Central Khartoum, including the Presidential Palace.
On Sunday, the RSF guns also slammed Omdurman, the twin city of Khartoum, killing three civilians, with witnesses said to be some of the heaviest gunfires in recent months.
The Sudanese Army claims it has seized control of the country’s central bank’s main headquarters as it continues to advance its capital from the RSF.
Army spokesman Nabil Abdallah said in a statement to AFP news agency on Saturday that the soldiers “were eliminated hundreds of militia members who tried to escape from their pockets in central Hartzm.”
The RSF has consolidated integrated management in the West, strengthened the front, and moved Sudan to a de facto division. The RSF has established parallel governments in the regions it manages, but it is not expected to ensure broad international recognition.
Since April 2023, the army led by Army Abdel Fatta al-Burhan has been in a continuous conflict with the RSF, led by former deputy commander of Burhan, Mohamed Hamdan Dagallo.
However, two years of conflict has put the country in a deep humanitarian crisis, killing tens of thousands of people and displaced over 12 million people.
