This is the best summary I could come up with:
Videos posted online on Sunday showed the iconic Greater Nile Petroleum Oil Company Tower engulfed in flames.
Air strikes and ground battles have continued in Khartoum and other towns and cities since fighting broke out in April.
The violence in Sudan began on 15 April, triggered by a power struggle between the leaders of the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The Sudan War Monitor, which provides analysis of the conflict, said the RSF had attacked areas controlled by the army on Saturday, including an office block at the justice ministry.
Residents in a southern district of the city - where the army was targeting RSF bases - told AFP they heard “huge bangs” as they woke up.
Nawal Mohammed, 44, who lives at least 3km (1.8 miles) from clashes in the capital, said the doors and windows of her family home shook with the force of explosions.
