(CNN) At least 60 people are dead and over 300 injured after troops stormed the main camp of pro-democracy protesters in Sudan's capital Monday, according to the Central Committee of Sudan Doctors (CCSD).

Videos showed billowing smoke and scenes of panic as the military tried to break up an opposition sit-in in the capital, Khartoum. The demonstrators have demanded that the Transitional Military Council, which has ruled the country since troops ousted longtime President Omar al-Bashir in April, make way for a civilian-led interim body.

Many of the those who are injured are in a critical condition, according to the CCSD, which is close to the protestors.

Locals set tyres on fire and block a side street leading to their neighborhood in the Sudanese capital Khartoum to stop military vehicles from driving through the area on June 4, 2019.

Eyewitnesses said that the police and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces shot at protesters on Monday. Several videos showed security forces beating people with sticks. The internet has been blocked in places across the country by major providers.

On Tuesday, Khartoum's streets had become quieter. Sudan is now celebrating Eid al-Fitr , a Muslim holiday which marks the end of Ramadan.
