The SAF also reported shooting down another FH-95 strategic drone in White Nile State, while in Blue Nile State, it said its forces destroyed 56 combat vehicles, captured 21 others, and seized large quantities of weapons, ammunition, communications equipment and electronic jamming devices during operations around Al-Karmak.

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) reported destroying 205 Rapid Support Forces (RSF) combat vehicles and shooting down four strategic drones during military operations conducted across several parts of the country between July 1 and July 15.
In a statement on Facebook, the SAF said the operations targeted RSF positions in Darfur, North and South Kordofan, Blue Nile and White Nile states, where it also claimed to have seized 21 combat vehicles, weapons, ammunition and communications equipment while inflicting heavy casualties on RSF fighters.
According to the army, 76 combat vehicles and 17 military logistics vehicles were destroyed in the Darfur axis, while another 19 combat vehicles were destroyed in South Kordofan. In North Kordofan, the military said it destroyed 54 combat vehicles and shot down three FH-95 strategic drones.

The SAF also reported shooting down another FH-95 strategic drone in White Nile State, while in Blue Nile State, it said its forces destroyed 56 combat vehicles, captured 21 others, and seized large quantities of weapons, ammunition, communications equipment and electronic jamming devices during operations around Al-Karmak.
"The armed forces confirm that their operations are ongoing in all directions," the SAF said, adding that it would continue operations against the RSF across Sudan.
Sudan has been engulfed in conflict since April 2023, when fighting erupted between the SAF and the RSF, triggering one of the world's largest humanitarian crises.

The conflict is estimated to have killed at least 59,000 people and forced more than 14 million others from their homes. It has similarly left 33.7 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, while severe restrictions on aid access have further deepened the suffering.
The SAF’s announcement comes amid growing concerns that the RSF could escalate their offensive on the city of El-Obeid, in North Kordofan, putting hundreds of thousands of civilians at risk.
According to the United Nations (UN), El-Obeid remains under Sudanese army control, but the city has been surrounded by the RSF for nearly 18 months, leaving residents facing siege-like conditions and mounting humanitarian pressures.
The situation is being compounded by damage to vital services. Strikes on key infrastructure, including electricity facilities, have triggered prolonged power cuts, disrupted access to water and placed additional pressure on hospitals already struggling to function.
