The Sudanese armed forces claim to have repelled a large-scale attack by local armed groups.

On the 17th, the Sudanese armed forces issued a statement saying that they had repelled a large-scale attack launched by the local armed group "Sudan People's Liberation Movement" in South Kordofan State in southern Sudan. The "Sudan People's Liberation Movement" was originally one of the main anti-government armed groups in Sudan. After the armed conflict broke out in Sudan, this group allied with the Sudan Rapid Support Forces to jointly counter the Sudanese armed forces.
