The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) announced on Tuesday that it had recaptured key military sites in the city of El Fasher, North Darfur State in western Sudan, while the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) claimed to have shot down a military drone over the city.



In a statement, the SAF's 6th Infantry Division said its troops had regained full control of the military bases of the Engineer and Signals Battalions and the Command School in El Fasher following intense battles that inflicted "significant losses" on personnel and equipment on RSF forces.



The statement added that several combat vehicles were seized "in good condition" and fully equipped, while six others, including armored vehicles, were destroyed or set ablaze during the operation.
