Special Task Forces Reveal Details of “Point-Blank” Battle and Sweeping Operations Across 22 Villages
Sudanese Echoes – The spokesperson for the Special Operations Forces, Mohamed Didan, announced a decisive battlefield victory in the clashes that took place in the area on Monday, confirming that full control of the entire axis had been established and a tight siege imposed on the cities of Al-Khuwei and Al-Nohod in West Kordofan State.
In a press statement, Didan described Sunday’s battle as one of the fiercest and most decisive, noting that the clashes reached their peak when the forces engaged at close quarters, with the confrontation escalating into “point-blank” combat. He said this disrupted the enemy’s calculations and forced it to flee, abandoning its combat vehicles with all their equipment on the battlefield.
He revealed that the attacking force had suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment, including hundreds killed and dozens wounded or captured. He also said that all field commanders of the mobile force had been neutralised, except for one commander who managed to flee towards the Darfur region, in a state of shock at the intensity of the confrontation.
Didan explained that the command had named the operation the “Key to Al-Nohod and Al-Khuwei” Battle, given its strategic importance in shifting the balance of power in the area. He added that the forces had carried out extensive mopping-up operations covering more than 22 villages and locations around Eayal Bakheet and Al-Khuwei, with the aim of securing the entire area and tightening the military encirclement of the two cities.
