Today, Saturday, the hostile forces and special task teams of the Sudanese army began executing qualitative operations in the southeast of Um Bader and the Al-Mazrub area in North Kordofan, following the army's recapture of the strategic city of Sudri yesterday.

Military sources informed Al Arabiya/Al Hadath that the air force of the army continued to target the positions and fortifications of the Rapid Support Forces in areas located to the west and south of the city of Sudri in preparation for the advance of infantry forces in the western axes.

The sources also anticipated an escalation of ground operations in the coming hours, coinciding with operations to soften and target the defenses of the Rapid Support Forces through special task teams and airstrikes, at a time when the army seeks to open up to the west and penetrate towards West Kordofan.

The Sudanese army took control of the strategic city of Sudri in North Kordofan yesterday after fierce battles with the Rapid Support Forces, which retreated and their elements fled the city to the west following the intense attacks carried out by the army forces, and they spread throughout the city and established complete control over it.

It is noted that the army has made several advances in North Kordofan in recent days, after announcing on September 17 the control of 11 areas, including Al-Kokiti, Kajar, Sharshar, Al-Qalayat, and areas around Al-Mazrub.

The Kordofan front gains increasing importance in the course of the war, as its regions form a link between the center of the country and the Darfur region.

Meanwhile, the conflict that erupted in mid-April 2023 between the army and the Rapid Support Forces continues, after the war has claimed the lives of tens of thousands and displaced millions both inside and outside the country, leading to the spread of famine in several areas.
