The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continued their offensive on Tuesday, seizing an army camp in the Abu Arif area of Sennar State and advancing towards White Nile State.
The captured camp, belonging to the 66th Infantry Brigade, is strategically located near the South Sudanese border and Al Jabalayn city.
RSF supporters shared videos on social media depicting the takeover, amid reports of army casualties. This marks the RSF’s first operation in Sennar State since the death of their sector commander and the appointment of a successor.
In a separate incident, RSF forces attacked the village of Al-Halba in White Nile State, storming its market in an apparent attempt to reach the city of Al-Duwaym, a strategic location on the White Nile River.
The RSF’s recent gains build upon their June offensive, which saw them capture most of Sennar State, including the capital Singa and several strategic areas. The Sudanese army currently maintains control over only the city of Sennar
