Is the Sudanese army gaining momentum against the RSF?
The SAF claims victory in a vital North Kordofan town, weakening RSF’s access to fighters and supply routes.
Sudan's military has successfully thwarted an attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) fighters in the eastern Blue Nile state, according to a statement from the Fourth Infantry Division. The division claimed that the operation inflicted heavy casualties and losses on the RSF and SPLM-N in the Minza and Bashkirkad areas, blocking their advance toward army positions.
The Fourth Infantry Division reported that its forces destroyed several vehicles and equipment, forcing the attacking elements to retreat under heavy fire. This decisive action comes after a series of drone attacks by the RSF on the Blue Nile state governor's residence and civilian sites in Damazin, the state capital. The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF has intensified in recent days, with both sides accused of targeting civilian infrastructure.
The ongoing war between the army and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands and the displacement of nearly 13 million people, as reported by UN and international estimates.
