Sudanese Army Repels RSF militia Attack on Al-Dalang from Three Axes

The Sudanese army on Monday, March 16, 2026, repelled an attack launched by Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North from three axes on the city of Al-Dalang, the second-largest city in South Kordofan State in southern Sudan.

Military sources told Ultra Sudan that the RSF militia and the SPLM-N attacked the city from three directions, but the armed forces confronted them and inflicted losses in personnel and equipment.

The sources added that the army destroyed several combat vehicles and military equipment belonging to the attacking forces and seized a number of them. Soldiers from the Sudanese army published video clips confirming that they had repelled the attack by the “Ta’asis” alliance forces and were conducting sweeping operations around the city of Al-Dalang.

Earlier sources told Ultra Sudan that the Sudanese army’s drones carried out air strikes at dawn on Sunday against positions of the RSF militia and the allied SPLM in South Kordofan.

The strikes reportedly destroyed combat vehicles belonging to a convoy that had been preparing to advance toward the city of Al-Dalang. The sources said that the “Ta’asis” alliance, consisting of RSF militia and the SPLM-North faction led by Abdelaziz al-Hilu, had been mobilizing its forces for several days to attack Al-Dalang and cut the road linking Al-Dalang with Kadugli.

On March 1, the Sudanese army successfully repelled a similar attack launched by an alliance of Rapid Support Forces and the SPLM led by Abdelaziz al-Hilu against the city of Al-Dalang.

Rapid Support Forces and the SPLM-North are reportedly planning to reimpose a siege on Al-Dalang and close the vital corridors that the army had previously reopened.

On January 26, the Sudanese army and its allies announced that they had broken the siege on Al-Dalang, the second-largest city in South Kordofan State, after two years of blockade by Rapid Support Forces and the allied SPLM-North.
