The Sudanese Air Force on Thursday launched a series of precision airstrikes targeting Rapid Support Forces (RSF) positions around the city of Al-Nahud in West Kordofan State, as part of ongoing military escalation now entering its second year.
The strikes focused on Al-Nahud, Al-Khuwei, Al-Hamadi, and Al-Debeibat — areas the RSF has used as supply and staging bases for its operations.
Military field sources told Ultra Sudan that the army’s warplanes targeted RSF positions inside and east of Al-Nahud, as well as in Sareef Ankoosh, Al-Muqaisim, and west of Al-Khuwei.
The sources said the air raids destroyed at least ten combat vehicles and killed dozens of RSF fighters, including recently graduated recruits mobilized to attack army-held areas such as El-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan, and Umm Sumayma, which the army recently recaptured.
The air force also bombed an RSF meeting west of Umm Sumayma, reportedly killing at least 40 fighters and wounding dozens more, including field commanders.
According to the sources, the strikes destroyed several military vehicles and were part of a broader effort to disperse RSF forces from Al-Nahud and Al-Khuwei, paving the way for the army’s planned advance on both cities.
