Sudan fighting: Blinken says US diplomatic convoy fired upon

A US diplomatic convoy came under fire in Sudan on Monday but nobody was hurt, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.

"This action was reckless, it was irresponsible and of course unsafe," he told reporters in Japan after G7 talks.

Sudan has been gripped for days by deadly fighting between rival forces.

Earlier, it was reported that the EU's ambassador in Sudan, Aidan O'Hara, has been assaulted at his home in the capital Khartoum.

Around 185 people have been killed and more than 1,800 injured in three days of fighting in Sudan, according to the UN. The city has seen air strikes, shelling and heavy small-arms fire. read more
