Fighting resumes in Sudan after 24-hour ceasefire

Khartoum [Sudan], June 12: Fighting has broken out again in the Sudanese capital Khartoum after a 24-hour ceasefire, several Arabic media reported on Sunday.
According to the reports, the Sudanese army resumed airstrikes shortly after the ceasefire ended at 6 am, targeting positions of the opposing RSF paramilitaries in Khartoum's suburbs of Bahri and Omdurman. Artillery and anti-aircraft missiles were also heard.
A ceasefire had come into effect on Saturday morning, brokered by the United States and Saudi Arabia, with a view to enabling humanitarian deliveries. The ceasefire had largely held, according to media and eyewitnesses.
It was hard to verify the situation in other parts of the country, especially violence-ridden West Darfur.
After previous ceasefires had repeatedly failed, the mediators had warned that a breach could mean the breakdown of negotiations between the two sides in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It was initially unclear when talks on further ceasefires would resume.
