Overview
- The military reports reopening the main road to Dilling and securing northern and southern approaches after a decisive operation.
- Commanders say RSF suffered heavy losses; the paramilitary group has not publicly responded to the claim.
- Dilling sits between besieged Kadugli and el-Obeid, making control of the corridor crucial for supply lines.
- UN reporting cites more than 40,000 deaths and millions displaced, with at least 65,000 fleeing Kordofan since October.
- Famine has been confirmed in Kadugli, while the IPC withheld a famine declaration for Dilling due to limited data, as RSF gains include El Fasher’s capture and the seizure of the Heglig oil field.
