The Sudan Armed Forces and the rival Rapid Support Forces on Tuesday exchanged accusations of violating the truce as intermittent clashes continued.
In a press statement, the SAF accused the RSF of moving troops inside and outside the capital, trying to occupy strategic sites and restricting peoples’ movements.
It noted that the RSF are gathering troops near the Al-Jili oil refinery north of Khartoum to attack and control it to create a fuel crisis throughout the country.
The army accused the RSF of moving troops from western Sudan to carry out a large-scale offensive on Khartoum.
For its part, the RSF accused the army of attacking its forces near the presidential palace in Khartoum.
It dismissed accusations of moving forces or attempting to occupy the Al-Jili refinery as untrue.
In the meantime, the Sudanese Ministry of Health announced that the death toll from the fighting had risen to 408 in addition to the injury of 4,063 people.
The Sudanese Doctors Syndicate affirmed that clashes rage in Khartoum, Bahri, Omdurman and other areas in western Sudan, but noted that fighting is less intense than the previous days.
Separately, several leaders from the regime of the ousted president Omar al-Bashir were released today from the maximum security Kobar prison.
The free regime figures included Ali Othman Taha, Ahmed Haroun and Awad al-Jaz.
The SAF and RSF had announced agreement to a 72-hour truce, mediated by the US and Saudi Arabia, starting at midnight April 24.
