Sudan’s military announced that several members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) were killed during a recent operation in the Blue Nile state. The attack, described as a preemptive strike, was based on intelligence about RSF activity in the region. According to the Defence Ministry, the operation targeted suspected RSF positions to prevent potential threats.

The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF has intensified in recent months, with both sides accusing each other of escalating violence. This latest operation marks another escalation in the ongoing struggle for control over key regions. Local reports suggest that the area remains tense, with sporadic clashes reported in the days leading up to the attack.

The Sudanese government has not released specific numbers of casualties beyond the nine vehicles destroyed. Independent verification of the claims remains difficult due to the ongoing instability in the region. The operation underscores the continued volatility of the conflict, with both factions vying for dominance in a fragile political landscape.
