Clashes broke out between the RSF and the Sudanese Army in Khartoum on Saturday morning.
The RSF said that the country's regular Army had attacked the paramilitary's base in Khartoum.
"The Rapid Support Forces, defending themselves, inflicted heavy losses on the attacking forces and managed to take control of the airport and the base in Merowe. The aggressors were also driven out of the headquarters of the Soba camp [in Khartoum], and the Khartoum airport was taken under control," the RSF said.
The RSF also alleged that they have taken control of the Republican Palace, serving as the working residence of Sudan's leadership. However, the Sudanese Army denied the reports.
Sudan's General Intelligence Service (GIS) described the actions of the country's RSF as mutinous.
