Sudan's army announced that it has captured the strategic city of Sodiri in North Kordofan state, describing the operation as a significant gain in its ongoing conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
According to the army's statement, RSF fighters suffered heavy losses during the fighting for control of the city, which holds strategic value given its location within North Kordofan, a region that has seen repeated clashes between the two sides throughout the conflict.
RSF yet to respond
The Rapid Support Forces have not yet issued a public comment on the army's claim regarding the loss of Sodiri, and the assertion could not be independently verified. Conflicting claims between the two warring parties have been common throughout the conflict, making on-the-ground verification difficult.
The battle for Sodiri is part of a broader pattern of fighting across Sudan's Kordofan region, an area that has become a key front line in the wider war between the Sudanese armed forces and the RSF, with both sides seeking to consolidate territorial control ahead of any future negotiations.
