KHARTOUM: The Sudanese army recaptured the presidential palace in Khartoum from the Rapid Support Forces on Friday, dealing a major blow to the paramilitaries who responded with deadly drone attacks.
State television had broadcast scenes of fighters celebrating in the palace, before three of its journalists and a number of army personnel were killed in a drone strike, an army source reported.
They were “covering the army retaking the Republican Palace” when an RSF one-way attack drone struck the complex, the source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Information Minister Khalid al-Aiser said state television’s producer, video journalist and driver were among the dead.
