The Sudanese army said a Turkish C-130 aircraft involved in the evacuation in Sudan was damaged during shelling by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) while landing at a military airfield north of Khartoum, leaving one crew member injured.

"A Turkish C-130 aircraft, which arrived in Sudan for evacuation, was fired upon by rebels this morning while landing at the Wadi Seidna Air Base, which damaged the aircraft's fuel tanks and injured one crew member. However, the plane managed to land safely at the Wadi Seidna airport," the army posted on social media.

On its part, the RSF denied the Sudanese army's accusations, adding that they come as part of the army's "continuation of the disinformation campaigns by spreading lies and allegations to cover up their actions and deeds."

The RSF said it has remained strictly committed to the humanitarian truce that it agreed upon since midnight, adding that it does not maintain a presence in the vicinity of Wadi Seidna and that the air base is not under its control.

The Rapid Support Forces blamed the Sudanese army for the attack, accusing the armed forces of trying to sabotage the RSF's relations with countries.

On its part, the Turkish Defense Ministry confirmed that its Air Force evacuation aircraft was shelled in Sudan, saying that it successfully landed and no one was injured.

"Our C-130 evacuation aircraft en route to Wadi Seidna Airport to evacuate our citizens was fired upon from small arms. Our aircraft landed safely. Our personnel were not injured and the necessary control of the aircraft is currently being carried out," the Ministry said in a statement.

This comes as the fifth truce in Sudan entered into force, amid cautious calm prevailing in the capital, Khartoum, after sporadic clashes and overflights of warplanes were recorded.

Media sources reported that clashes took place in the vicinity of the presidential palace, adding that Tuti Island in central Khartoum was shelled.

It is noteworthy that on the last day of the fourth ceasefire, clashes erupted at several points in Khartoum and plumes of smoke rose in the vicinity of the presidential palace, coinciding with the overflight of warplanes.
