Sudan’s army said it downed an FH-95 drone over the Ayyal Bakhit area Saturday, while Anadolu reported ongoing clashes and new army claims across the Kordofan states.
The army spokesperson said air defenses brought the aircraft down Saturday morning and labeled it hostile. SUNA, Sudan’s state news agency, carried the statement, which did not identify the operator.
Anadolu said clashes in North, West and South Kordofan had continued since Oct. 25 as the rival forces maneuvered to hold ground. The army said Thursday it had secured four locations in North and South Kordofan. It reported 40 RSF combat vehicles destroyed and 43 captured.
The army has also claimed control of 11 North Kordofan areas in recent weeks. Those claims follow EconoTimes’ earlier report on the army’s gains in North Kordofan. The two sides have been at war since April 2023.
