Sudanese Army Retakes Presidential Palace From Rebel Militia

Sudan’s army retook the presidential palace in the capital from the rebel Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group that it’s fought in a brutal civil war for two years — but fighting continued in the city.

Soon after soldiers celebrated the symbolic victory on Friday morning, a drone fired a missile at the iconic building in downtown Khartoum, killing several soldiers and journalists working for Sudan’s state broadcaster, according to Major General Zafir Omer, a commander in the area.
