Sudan's government has conditionally accepted an invitation to attend US-sponsored peace talks in Geneva, the Sudanese foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

Sudan has asked for a meeting with US officials to prepare for the peace negotiations, the statement added.

More than 10 million people have been displaced by fighting between Sudan's national army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that erupted in April 2023, in what the United Nations says is the world's largest humanitarian crisis.

A rocket fired from Lebanon killed an Israeli civilian on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Tension has spiked along the frontier after a rocket Israel said Hezbollah fired killed 12 children on Saturday in the Israeli-held Golan Heights.

Meanwhile, Lebanon's Hezbollah said on Tuesday it fired at Israeli warplanes that broke the sound barrier in Lebanese airspace.

Hezbollah added that it forced the warplanes to turn back.
