Sudan's army has said it inflicted heavy losses on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied armed groups during fighting in Blue Nile state, according to a military statement.
The announcement came after reports of drone attacks targeting the governor's home and civilian sites in Damazin, the state capital, according to Anadolu Agency.
Blue Nile state, located in southeastern Sudan, has seen recurring clashes as part of the broader conflict between the Sudanese armed forces and the RSF, which has engulfed large parts of the country since fighting erupted between the two sides.
The military's statement did not provide independently verified casualty figures for the reported losses inflicted on RSF and allied fighters, and the claims could not be immediately corroborated by independent sources.
The drone strikes on the governor's residence and civilian areas in Damazin add to a pattern of attacks on state capitals and administrative centers that has characterized the conflict in Sudan, which has displaced millions and triggered a severe humanitarian crisis.
