Overview
- Sudan’s military says it beat back an RSF assault on its headquarters in Babnusa, with verified video showing soldiers displaying armored vehicles left by retreating fighters.
- New satellite analysis indicates extensive damage to army facilities in Babnusa during the RSF offensive, including signs of drone targeting and repeated shelling.
- Fighting is intensifying across Kordofan as the RSF advances toward El-Obeid and Kadugli, and a US- and Arab-backed truce proposal remains unheeded.
- Following last month’s fall of El-Fasher, the RSF controls all five Darfur state capitals, with nearly 100,000 people fleeing and famine reported among those trapped.
- UN bodies and health agencies report mass killings, sexual violence and hospital attacks in El-Fasher, and investigators have been tasked to probe the alleged atrocities.
