Military coup unfolding in Sudan

Good morning.

Early on Monday Sudan's Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and several other ministers from the country's civilian government were arrested in their homes, in what appears to be a military coup.

Sudan: Military coup feared as Hamdok and other civilian leaders detained

We'll be following the story today on our live blog. What we know so far:

Saudi-owned broadcaster Al Hadath reported that military forces besieged Hamdok's home early on Monday, before placing him under house arrest.
A statement from the information ministry on Facebook said the detentions were carried out by "joint military forces" and those arrested were being held in "an unidentified location".
Hamdok called on the Sudanese people to take to the streets to defend their revolution peacefully. The information ministry said Sudan's prime minister had issued this statement from where he is being held.
The army has not commented. Pro-democracy groups have joined Hamdok in urging people to take to the streets.
The army and paramilitary have been deployed across the city, restricting the movement of civilians, Reuters quoted a witness as saying.
Jeffrey Feltman, the US special envoy for the Horn of Africa, who days before had met with Hamdok, said the United States was deeply alarmed by reports of a military takeover.
