UNITED NATIONS, April 16. /TASS/. The UN Security Council will discuss the latest crisis in Sudan on Monday, April 17, a source in the global organization told TASS on Saturday.

According to the source, the Security Council will hold consultations on Sudan "after discussing the situation in Yemen."

The consultations will be closed for the public, the source added.

The situation in Sudan has escalated due to disagreement between army commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who also heads the Sovereign Council (the country's governing body), and his deputy in the council, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti), the head of the rapid support force. On the morning of April 15, clashes broke out between the two forces near a military base in the city of Merowe and in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. According to latest reports, 25 people were killed and about 200 wounded in the conflict.
