Khartoum, Sudan (CNN) At least seven people were killed as tens of thousands protested in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, on Sunday, in the largest mass demonstration since the deadly crackdown on a pro-democracy sit-in earlier in June.

The Health Ministry announced that an additional 181 people were wounded during the protests, according to state news agency SUNA. Of the 181 injured, 27 suffered gunshot wounds, according to the health ministry's undersecretary Dr. Suleiman Abdul-Jabbar.

The Central Committee of Sudan Doctors said there are "many reported critical injuries caused by the gunshots of Transitional Military Council's militias" and that the wounded were being treated in hospitals. The Transitional Military Council has been running the country since the overthrow of former leader Omar al-Bashir.

Three members of the TMC's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces were also shot, according to state news agency SUNA.

Sudanese protestors chant slogans demanding civilian rule during a rally in Khartoum's southern al-Sahafa district.

The commander of the RSF, Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemeti, claimed that his men had been fired upon by protesters, according to SUNA.
