The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has accused the Sudanese Armed Forces of launching airstrikes against the country’s old presidential palace in the capital, Khartoum.
Residents of the city reported bombing of the area but the army denied the RSF’s claim that it has destroyed the palace.
The paramilitaries said it would reply decisively.
The old Republican Palace is located along the Blue Nile River, near the current premises which were inaugurated in January 2015.
The two warring parties have been holding peace talks in Saudi Arabia but there is little sign of progress.
Health of civilians trapped in the city continue to deteriorate, with doctors saying the health service is near total collapse.
