Army spokesman Nabil Abdallah said the military was “continuing to pressure” the Rapid Support Forces throughout the city centre, giving a list of buildings recaptured including the Central Bank, state intelligence headquarters and the Sudan National Museum.
Activists on Saturday said dozens of civilians had been killed in a paramilitary attack in a remote part of North Darfur state, hundreds of kilometres (miles) from the capital.
An RSF source confirmed to AFP that its fighters had “withdrawn from some locations in central Khartoum,“ but added “the battle has not been decided yet”.
RSF fighters remain inside what remains of the airport, which has been heavily damaged during nearly two years of fighting.
The paramilitaries had used the palace to house their elite forces and stockpile ammunition, according to military sources.
The battle for Khartoum's city centre could consolidate the military's hold on the capital region but is unlikely to end the war.
Since April 2023, the military led by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has fought the RSF, headed by his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.
Battle 'not over'
“The battle is not over, we will continue,“ he said to cheers and ululations in al-Kamlin, a town about 100 kilometres (62 miles) southwest of Khartoum, the day before.
The paramilitaries posted snipers in the district's high-rises, which overlook both Omdurman and the government ministries of central Khartoum.
He said the army had “eliminated hundreds of militia members who tried to escape through pockets in central Khartoum.”
Facing successive army victories in central Sudan, the RSF has redoubled its efforts to consolidate its hold on Darfur, where its resupply links from Libya have come under increasing attack in recent months by army-allied armed groups known as the Joint Forces.
The resistance committee, a volunteer aid group in North Darfur state capital El-Fasher, about 200 kilometres (124 miles) southwest, said it was unable to identify 15 other “victims of the al-Malha massacre”.
