KHARTOUM—Sudan’s opposition on June 4 rejected a plan by its military rulers to hold elections within nine months, a day after the worst bout of violence since President Omar al-Bashir was overthrown in April.

At least 35 people were killed on June 3 when security forces stormed a protest camp outside the Defense Ministry in central Khartoum, said doctors linked to the opposition.
