An army air strike on the Sudanese capital has killed at least 20 people, including two children.

Many of the victims of the attack, in the Kalakla al-Qubba neighbourhood of south-west Khartoum, have been reportedly buried in the rubble.

The army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been fighting for control of Khartoum since April. Hundreds have been killed.

The country’s health ministry says more than 1,100 people have died across the country, but the real numbers are likely to be much higher, since many civilians have been caught in the crossfire.

The conflict began after army chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the RSF head Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo fell out over the future of the country.

Several ceasefires have been announced to allow people to escape the fighting but these have not been observed.
