“Surprise Strikes”; Army Advances West of Al‑Obeid

Preliminary reports indicate that more than 150 vehicles of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia were destroyed west of Al‑Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan state. In recent days, the army reportedly carried out sudden attacks and airstrikes, destroying a significant portion of the RSF’s hard-power units in the area.

The strikes targeted RSF forces in Abu Gaoud, Jebel Abu Sunoon, Al Ayara, Um Semaima, and Al Khuwai—units reportedly preparing to attack Al‑Obeid. The surprise operations sparked internal panic within the militia, disrupted their plans, and sowed doubt among their ranks.
