Cell phone video released by a member of the Sudanese military captures a sniper engaging RSF troops in the capital city of Khartoum. It's unclear if this video is from today, or if it was filmed over the past weekend.

According to a loose translation, the Sniper and cameraman are talking to each other about the sniper's target. While it's impossible to know for sure from this video, the tone of the conversation indicates that the sniper did in fact hit his target, which was an RSF fighter.

Over the last 48 hours, there have been several ceasefire attempts by both sides of the conflict. In every situation the ceasefire attempts have failed within minutes as the word cannot be disseminated to troops in the field fast enough due to their primitive fighting conditions.

Hospitals in Khartoum have been overwhelmed with casualties and have reportedly stopped taking new patients. Employees are saying that the situation is currently "Beyond a catastrophe." At least 270 civilians have been killed in the fighting so far, and the exact casualty numbers are still unknown.
