Ammo depot blast injures two in south Khartoum, say volunteers

November 7, 2025 (KHARTOUM) – An ammunition depot exploded at a Joint Force headquarters in the new Souq Sita, near the “Konika” area south of the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, injuring two people, volunteers confirmed on Friday.

The south Hizam (belt) area has been witnessing stability and a return to normal life after the army completed its control over Khartoum state last May.

A member of the South Hizam Emergency Room, who spoke to Sudan Tribune on condition of anonymity for security reasons, said the depot belongs to a post of the Joint Force (Sudanese Alliance group), led by former West Darfur governor Khamis Abkar. It is located in the new Souq Sita, northwest of Square 25 in Al-Azhari, Khartoum.

The Joint Force of armed movements fights alongside the Sudanese army against the Rapid Support Forces.

The source added that two people were injured in the incident and transferred to Bashair Hospital, where their condition is stable.

He explained that the successive explosions in the area caused panic and fear among citizens.

He noted that a Civil Defence team arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire.
