The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has seized control of Sudan's second largest city, Nyala, from the army after months of fighting.
Residents were celebrating with hopes that it meant an end to violence.
The fighting has forced more than 670,000 people to flee their homes.
The city's hospitals have been destroyed, and bodies are said to be lining the streets.
This major advance for the RSF comes as the two warring sides were set to resume peace talks in Saudi Arabia.
