The military confrontations in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, have expanded, with the army and Rapid Support Forces exchanging claims of making progress and achieving victories in the Bahri Khartoum sector, which has witnessed the fiercest battles since the outbreak of the war last April. Additionally, Omdurman experienced intense artillery shelling targeting the vicinity of the radio and television stations.
Military sources stated that the armed forces have taken control of locations in Bahri Khartoum that were under the control of the Rapid Support Forces since the early days of the clashes. Over the past two days, the army forces attacked Rapid Support Forces positions in the Kador area and around the Signal Corps, resulting in significant losses in lives and military equipment on both sides.
The sources highlighted the army’s achievement of operational goals and its control over the area connecting the Kador area and Abu Halima on the main road to the Al Jili refinery. The army has positioned itself on the “Al Garafa” bridge to the northeast of the area.
There has been a significant deployment of the army from the Signal Corps up to the Industrial Street in Bahri, in addition to its substantial presence in the neighborhoods of Nabta, Al Darushab, Al Samrab, Dardug, and Moore Street, which runs parallel to the Nile on the eastern side next to the Shambat suburb. These locations were previously heavily occupied by Rapid Support Forces.
However, platforms affiliated with the Rapid Support Forces attempted to downplay their losses, reporting that they had repelled a major army attack and inflicted significant casualties on them. They claimed to have countered the attack and forced the armed forces to retreat from their initial launch point, attacking from two axes: the first from the east of the Nile, “Al Hajj Youssef,” to the Hattab area, and the second from central Bahri to Kador.
