Eyewitness video shows fires raging on the tarmac at Khartoum international airport on Monday (April 17), as battles between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) raged into a third day.
Reuters was able to confirm the location from the buildings seen in the video matching file and satellite images.
At least 97 civilians have been killed and 365 injured since the fighting in Sudan started early on Saturday, according to a toll published by the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors, an activist group. The government has not published a toll.
The clashes, which have also spread to other parts of Sudan, are the first such outbreak of violence in the capital in recent decades and pit the armed forces against the powerful RSF. Leaders of the two sides hold the top two positions on Sudan's ruling council.
The UN World Food Programme said on Sunday it had temporarily halted all operations in hunger-stricken areas of Sudan after three Sudanese employees were killed during fighting in North Darfur and a WFP plane was hit during a gun battle at Khartoum airport.
