A military source in Sudan's army said the army had regained control of some areas it withdrew from Tuesday in central Khartoum, while the Sudan Medical Syndicate said 822 civilians had been killed since the clashes began.

The source explained to Al Jazeera that among the areas retaken by the army are the Central Sector Command of the Air Force, and the Military Sports Branch in the sixty-first Street area in central Khartoum.

The RSF said it had taken control of the air defense camp and all military sites in Khartoum's Route 61 area.

Politically, the US State Department said Ambassador John Godfrey remains in Jeddah to support talks between the RSF and the Sudanese military on a ceasefire and humanitarian arrangements.

For his part, an informed Sudanese diplomatic source told Al Jazeera that negotiations between the two sides of the fighting - which came with US-Saudi mediation - are still continuing in the Saudi city of Jeddah, but unofficially.

He added that the two delegations did not sit at the same table, and only notes were exchanged through mediators, and that the discussion on the truce is proceeding well in light of the agreement of the two parties that the next truce period will be 5 days, renewable, pointing to the continued differences over the military arrangements that are supposed to apply after the announcement of the new agreement.
