In Sudan, heavy fighting between rival military factions continues to secure control of capital Khartoum.

Sudan's army has intensified efforts to gain ground in the capital since the start of a conflict with a rival military faction.

The army has launched air strikes and heavy artillery to try to take a bridge across the Nile used by the rival Rapid Support Forces.

The RSF, which occupied much of the capital at the outbreak of fighting in mid-April, responded forcefully, resulting in heavy clashes in residential neighbourhoods.
