Eight other people have been injured during Sunday's attack, according to a source at Al-Naohospital. It is the last functioning healthcare facility in the city during the ongoing civil war.

Eye witnesses describe how they have heard seven rounds of shelling at a residential area controlled by Sudan's military.

In recent days, the military has retaken most of the government quarter in the capital from Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after making steady advances for months.

On Saturday, the central bank's headquarters were captured and the day before, the presidential palace was taken, which has been held by RSF since the civil war broke out in April 2023 – where tens of thousands have been killed and at least twelve million are on the run.
