Explosions and fire at Khartoum airport as fighting continues in Sudan – video

Plumes of smoke could be seen rising above Khartoum international airport on Monday, as fighting in Sudan's capital between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the country's armed forces entered the third day. Fires could be seen on the airport's tarmac, possibly complicating attempts by mediators to land in Khartoum and the delivery of humanitarian supplies. The two groups have been vying for control of key sites in Omdurman and Khartoum, though violence has now spread to other cities. Almost 100 civilians have been killed in the fighting and many more injured
