This is a symbolic breakthrough for the army in its 11-month civil war with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The RSF had held the headquarters since just after fighting broke out.

The conflict in Sudan has led eight million people to flee their homes and there are warnings of growing hunger.

Videos being shared on social media show soldiers celebrating outside the state broadcaster in Omdurman.

In a statement, the army called it a "major victory".

But despite taking the building last April, the RSF had not been able to transmit from it and state television continued to show pro-army content, which was broadcast from elsewhere in the country.
