Rapid Support attacks the armored camp in Khartoum, and the army responds with bombing. More than 50 people, including women and children, were killed and more than 60 others were injured in a series of attacks in the disputed Abyei region between Sudan and South Sudan.
The Sudanese army was able to repel the attack, seized a tank and a dual cannon, and destroyed a combat vehicle. The civil war in South Sudan, which broke out largely along ethnic lines between Dinka and Nuer, previously caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.
