Khartoum Fuel Depot on Fire as Sudan's Rival Factions Fight On
A major blaze engulfed a fuel facility in Sudan's capital Khartoum as fighting raged between rival military factions for a crucial weapons depot, Al Jazeera reports.
Live footage from Arab satellite channels on Wednesday June 7, 2023 showed a large fire and columns of smoke billowing from the fuel-storage site, which is close to an army base and the weapons manufacturing company.
The arms firm that owns the site - one of the biggest in Africa - operates in the Yarmouk residential area and civilians there said they fear the fire will eventually engulf entire neighbourhoods in southern Khartoum.
The Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have fought to control the key facilities surrounding the base since late on Tuesday.
Clashes have intensified between Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since the suspension of the Jeddah negotiation talks.
Radio Dabanga reports that callers from central Khartoum said that they had heard the sound of heavy weapons fire. The Resistance Committee of Imtidad Nasir neighbourhood in Khartoum posted on social media that "three people were killed and 10 buildings destroyed by airstrikes".
Other callers from Omdurman told Radio Dabanga that there are loud sounds coming from the south of the town, with "fighter jets... roaring all the time".
