TL;DR Summary

Deadly fighting has escalated in Sudan's Darfur region and the capital, Khartoum, after a ceasefire deal expired. Witnesses reported heavy fighting in Kutum, North Darfur, with at least 40 people killed and dozens more wounded. The RSF claimed it shot down a fighter jet after the army "launched an audacious airborne assault upon our forces' positions" in northern Khartoum. The deadly power struggle that erupted in Sudan on April 15 has triggered a major humanitarian crisis with more than 1.2 million people displaced within the country and another 400,000 fleeing into neighbouring states. Talks to extend the ceasefire broke down on Friday.
