Intense airstrikes by the Sudanese army inflicted heavy losses on Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in both El-Fasher and Nyala.
Well-informed sources reported that a large number of Colombian and Ukrainian mercenaries fighting alongside the militia were killed.
The sources added that two relatives of RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo “Hemedti” were among those killed in an army strike on the Karkar area of El-Fasher, which also destroyed the militia’s command-and-control center east of the city.
According to the reports, the Colombian and Ukrainian mercenaries had been based at a guesthouse in the Karkar area.
In a related strike, four senior RSF officers were killed when the army targeted militia sites in Nyala. Among the dead were two members of the Dagalo family, described by the sources as first-degree relatives.
One of the slain officers, from the Mahariya clan, had been overseeing drone and artillery operations, while the other was a financial officer with links to Emirati and Libyan banks. He reportedly managed an office in the Chadian city of Abéché, serving as a front for the militia’s operations.
