KHARTOUM: Shells struck the capital of Sudan's South Kordofan state on Tuesday in a renewed barrage, witnesses said, after unprecedented rebel firing on the same town of Kadugli early this month sparked UN condemnation.

"At 9:00 am (0600 GMT) shells started to come from outside the town, concentrating on the town centre," one witness told AFP.
