The Sudanese army has recaptured the presidential palace in the capital Khartoum amid intense fighting.
The strategic building was seized by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF, which took control of the capital when civil war erupted nearly two years ago.
The conflict has escalated in recent months with the army making significant advances against the RSF.
Besides the palace, the Sudan’s army said it had also taken control of ministries and other key buildings in central Khartoum.
“Our forces completely destroyed the enemy’s fighters and equipment, and seized large quantities of equipment and weapons,” army spokesman Nabil Abdallah said in a broadcast on state television.
Abdallah vowed the army would “continue to progress on all fronts until victory is complete and every inch of our country is purged of the militia and its supporters”.
