Sudan’s national army has condemned "individual transgressions committed by some of its elements" and pledged to investigate following reports of extrajudicial killings after it recaptured a key city in Al Gezira state from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) at the weekend.

Civilians and soldiers celebrated in Wad Madani, the capital of Sudan's El Gezira state, after it was recaptured by the Sudanese army from the paramilitary Rapid Support Services, marking a possible turning point in a devastating near two-year civil war.

At least 120 people are reported to have been killed in random shelling on Monday in the Dar-Salam area of the Sudanese city of Omdurman, across the Nile from the capital, Khartoum, according to a local volunteer network.
