The paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (FAR) said Saturday that they control the Presidential Palace where the president of the Sovereign Council and military leader, Abdel Fattah al Burhan, resides. The FAR also said they control Khartoum's international airport, Sudan's largest, and other military bases in the country seized from the Sudanese army after clashes broke out this morning.

The Sudanese Army warned that the country is going through a "dangerous juncture" that could lead to armed conflict.
