There was no immediate comment from the RSF on the army statement.
The latest attack came as the RSF-held territory has been shrinking rapidly in recent weeks, with the army expanding its control in Khartoum, White Nile, and North Kordofan states.
Currently, the RSF presence is limited to pockets in West Kordofan, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile states, in addition to four of Darfur’s five states.
Since mid-April 2023, the army and RSF have been fighting a war that numerous regional and international mediations have failed to end, despite the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the country.
