The US says it's "deeply alarmed" by reports of a military coup in Sudan, APA reports citing BBC.

Civilian Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok and at least four ministers were among those believed detained by unidentified soldiers shortly before dawn on Monday.

The army has not commented.

In a tweet, US special envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman said any military takeover would be "utterly unacceptable" and "puts at risk US assistance".
