Both sides of the conflict in Sudan continue to fight fiercely in multiple locations.

In recent days, the security situation in the Kordofan region of central Sudan has continued to escalate, with both sides in the Sudanese armed conflict the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces engaged in sustained fighting in multiple locations. Since mid-September, the Sudanese Armed Forces have successively launched large-scale military operations in western and northern North Kordofan State, seizing large areas of territory and pushing the front line westward to the border area between Kordofan and Darfur. At the same time, both sides in the conflict have increasingly frequently used drones and long-range strike means. The Sudanese Armed Forces recently stated that in the first eight months of this year they shot down more than 110 Rapid Support Forces drones, while the Rapid Support Forces claimed to have shot down about 80 of the other side's drones.
