Sudanese government forces attacked one of Darfur's largest refugee camps Monday, killing 12, according to The Washington Post's Express.
The government contends forces were searching for smuggled weaponry when refugees opened fire, according to the Christian Science Monitor.
The clash also left 60 wounded, according to the Monitor. U.N. peacekeeping forces have not yet released a death toll from the clash.
The government will remain outside the camp until criminals and weaponry are caught, the Monitor reported.
"Government forces are preparing to enter the camp again," Yahia El Bashir, a spokesman for a faction of the Sudan Liberation Army, said to the Monitor. "They bring a lot of heavy weapons and heavy logistical support from other areas in order to enter the camp, to destroy the camp and to kill civilians."
