Twelve people have been injured in clashes between protesters and the military forces in Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, a doctors’ committee in Sudan says.
It comes in the wake of the reported military coup in the country.
Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok is among civilian leaders who were reported to have been put under house arrest on Monday by unidentified soldiers.
There have been protests in the city following the arrests, and heavily armed military and paramilitary officers have been deployed on the streets.
The information ministry had earlier said that soldiers shot at protesters near the defence ministry headquarters, with casualties expected.
