The country’s ruling council Spokesman Mohamed Suleiman told reporters on Tuesday that interrogation of suspects involved in the attempted coup on Monday was due to begin and the military would issue a statement shortly.
Also, a government source, who pleaded anonymity, said the coup attempt had involved an effort to take control of state radio in Omdurman, across the river Nile from the capital, Khartoum. It added that measures were being taken to contain a limited number of people involved.
A witness also said the military had used tanks to close a bridge connecting Khartoum with Omdurman early on Tuesday morning.
Sudan is being ruled under a fragile power-sharing deal between the military and civilians following the overthrow of former President Omar al-Bashir in April 2019.
Transitional authorities have said they had foiled previous coup attempts linked to factions loyal to Bashir.
