Sudan army-allied force claims 62 RSF combat vehicles destroyed in North Kordofan

What the report says

Anadolu Agency Africa reports that a Sudanese army-allied “Joint Force” said Sudanese army troops and allied units destroyed 62 Rapid Support Forces combat vehicles in North Kordofan. According to the limited information available from the publisher, the force also said 54 combat vehicles were seized during operations in the state, which Anadolu described as strategic.

The report, based on the publicly available snippet, does not provide the date of the operations, the exact locations within North Kordofan, casualty figures, or any response from the RSF. The claims should therefore be treated as attributed battlefield assertions. There is also no indication in the available text that the reported vehicle losses or seizures were independently verified.

North Kordofan is significant because it sits between areas of central Sudan and the country’s western conflict zones, including routes connected to Darfur. Control of roads, towns and supply lines in the state can affect the mobility and resupply of both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF.

Sudan has been engulfed in war since April 2023, when a power struggle between the national army and the RSF erupted into open conflict. The fighting has devastated urban centres, displaced millions of people and drawn repeated international warnings over humanitarian access and civilian protection. Anadolu’s report adds to a stream of competing battlefield claims from the warring sides, many of which are difficult to verify because of restricted access, insecurity and disrupted communications.
