The leader of the Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, accused Egypt of being involved in airstrikes on the group's troops in a recorded speech on Wednesday.

Egypt denied accusations it carried out an airstrike on a paramilitary group battling Sudan’s army in the neighboring country’s civil war.
