As the battle between the Sudan army and paramilitaries has gone on for five days with no indications of stopping, the Pakistani Embassy in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, came under attack on Wednesday.
The Pakistani Embassy was hit by three gunshots during the clashes between Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, which resulted in damage to the Chancery building, according to a statement from the embassy.
The occurrence was seen as a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention because it is the host government's duty to provide security for diplomatic missions.
The statement read, "We urge the two sides to exhibit restraint and request the government of Sudan provides security forces for the urgent safety and security of the Embassy of Pakistan."
Due to the deteriorating security situation, the embassy once again recommended all Pakistanis stay at home and avoid unnecessary travel. In Khartoum, there are about a thousand Pakistanis.
Thousands of inhabitants left the capital of Sudan after a conflict between the army and paramilitaries left bodies in the street and more than 270 civilians dead, according to embassies.
Along with the army, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces stated that they would "fully commit to a complete ceasefire" beginning at 1600 GMT for 24 hours.
But according to witnesses, bullets could still be heard at the scheduled moment all throughout Khartoum.
The army and the RSF both blamed the other on Tuesday for upsetting the South Sudan-mediated ceasefire, which had failed to hold for the second day in a row.
Attacks on foreign diplomats have occurred, and Martin Griffiths, the UN's emergency relief coordinator, reported that the organization had been made aware of "reports of attacks and sexual violence against aid workers."
Governments began preparing to evacuate their populations, including numerous UN employees.
Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of the army, and Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who is in charge of the RSF, are the two generals whose forces engaged in the fighting on Saturday.
It came after a contentious disagreement between them over the RSF's intended integration into the regular army, which was a crucial requirement for a final agreement meant to restore Sudan's democratic transition.
Five million people's city of Khartoum was shaken by loud explosions and gunshots as plumes of dense black smoke ascended from nearby structures, including the army headquarters.
The violence erupted on Saturday between the forces of the two generals who seized power in a 2021 coup: army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the RSF.
The streets were overrun by RSF fighters riding on armored cars and pickup trucks loaded with weapons. According to the witnesses, fighter jets screamed overhead and opened fire on RSF targets.
Civilians sheltering in their homes are growing more desperate as a result of battle damage to residential and commercial structures, diminishing food supplies, power outages, and a lack of running water.
