Sudan Army Reports Thwarting RSF Assault
Military officials confirmed that the Fourth Infantry Division engaged hostile fighters from both the RSF and their allied faction, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement–North (SPLM-N), characterizing the defensive operation as a critical counterattack that neutralized the incursion.
According to the military's official statement, government troops successfully repelled the advancing forces while causing substantial casualties and destroying enemy military hardware.
"The Fourth Infantry Division will remain a firm barrier against any attempts to undermine security and stability in the region," the army said.
Neither the RSF nor the SPLM-N issued responses to the military's claims at the time of reporting.
This marks the second defensive engagement in the area within two weeks. On January 25, Sudan's armed forces reported beating back a comparable RSF-led offensive targeting both Al-Silik and Malkan localities within Blue Nile state.
Across Sudan's 18 administrative regions, the RSF maintains control over all five states comprising the western Darfur territory, with the exception of contested zones in North Darfur still held by government forces. The remaining 13 states spanning the nation's southern, northern, eastern, and central territories—including the capital city of Khartoum—remain predominantly under army authority.
The devastating military confrontation between Sudan's armed forces and the RSF, which ignited in April 2023, has claimed thousands of lives, forced millions into displacement, and generated one of the planet's most severe humanitarian emergencies.
