The Sudanese Armed Forces announced that they had recaptured Sodiri, a town in North Kordofan state, representing a further development in the army's campaign to regain territory from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in the region.
The announcement coincided with a report from the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, which documented a sharp increase in Sudanese civilians fleeing across the border into Chad. According to the agency, approximately 400 people cross daily into eastern Chad to escape the civil war and the severe humanitarian crisis in Sudan, whilst international aid funding for the situation continues to diminish.
Combat operations continued elsewhere in the region: a drone strike attributed to the Rapid Support Forces killed two civilians in El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan state. This incident underscored the ongoing impact of the conflict on civilian populations, even as the positions of the opposing forces continue to shift.
