31/5/2024: Sudan Tribune – Fierce clashes erupt between Sudanese army and RSF in Khartoum North

Sudan Tribune report that battles erupted between the Sudanese army (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in various parts of Khartoum North (Bahri).

Large contingents of SAF crossed the Halfaya bridge connecting Omdurman and Bahri, after destroying RSF positions on the bridge’s eastern side and enabling the army’s entry into the city.

Military sources indicated that the operation aimed to deliver critical supplies to forces stationed at the Signal Corps in Bahri, where the RSF controls most parts. The army simultaneously advanced into the Dardoog area of Bahri while warplanes bombarded RSF forces coming from Sharg al-Nile and Khartoum.  

The Signal Corps, located in the far south of Bahri, was attacked by the RSF the previous day but the army’s advanced defence  supported by drones and heavy artillery continued to repel these attacks.
