Sudan’s military forces reclaimed control of Al-Dinder in Sennar state on Wednesday following fierce clashes with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to military sources.
Supported by the Joint Force and the General Intelligence Service, the Sudanese army launched a large-scale offensive early Wednesday to recover Al-Dinder, a town that had been under RSF control since July.
Military sources reported to local media that the army, using heavy artillery, advanced weaponry, and suicide drones, successfully recaptured the city with support from airstrikes conducted by warplanes. The RSF had previously taken over Al-Dinder and established a local administration within the city.
The RSF has been widely accused of committing human rights violations in Al-Dinder and nearby areas, with allegations of killings, forced displacement, and looting.
The army continued to conduct air raids targeting RSF strongholds, particularly in Kamrab, as they aimed to further weaken the paramilitary forces in the region.
