Two military sources told Reuters on Saturday that the Sudanese army seized control of the country's central bank's main headquarters.
The army is continuing to make advances in the capital against rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The takeover came a day after Sudan's army announced Friday it had regained control of the presidential palace in Khartoum from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces following intense fighting.
"Our forces completely destroyed the enemy's fighters and equipment, and seized large quantities of equipment and weapons," army spokesperson Nabil Abdallah said in a statement broadcast on state television.
Abdallah vowed the army would "continue to progress on all fronts until victory is complete and every inch of our country is purged of the militia and its supporters."
On social media, soldiers shared videos appearing inside the presidential palace, exchanging congratulations.
Paramilitary fighters overran the palace in April 2023, when war broke out between the RSF and the army.
At the time, the RSF swiftly took control of Khartoum's streets, with the army-aligned government fleeing to Port Sudan on the Red Sea coast.
