Sudanese military destroys RSF supply convoy near Libyan border
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the aligned Joint Force of Armed Movements destroyed a 49-vehicle Rapid Support Forces (RSF) convoy in the northern desert front bordering Libya. The operation resulted in the capture of 70 RSF fighters and the seizure of drone equipment, including high-capacity batteries. Four members of the pro-government Joint Force were killed during the engagement. The SAF has recently surged reinforcements to remote desert zones to sever illicit weapon and fuel supply lines from Libya.
