Turkish evacuation plane shot while landing
Meanwhile, the defense ministry of Turkiye has confirmed that an evacuation plane that was about to land at an airbase outside Khartoum was shot at.
The SAF has alleged that the paramilitary group RSF shot the aircraft and damaged its fuel system.
However, the RSF has pointed out that it was committed to the extended humanitarian truce and has denied the allegations.
And as the ceasefire is prolonged, more people are expected to leave the country to seek refuge.
