Clashes Persist in Three North Kordofan Locations for Second Day
November 18, 2025 (EL OBEID) – Fighting between the Sudanese military and its allies and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) persisted on Tuesday in three areas of North Kordofan state for the second day in a row.
The military launched a wide-ranging operation in North Kordofan at the beginning of the week, reclaiming the Kazgail and Um Dam Hag areas. On Monday, it moved into Bara and Um Sayyala but then pulled back due to intense fighting.
Military officials informed "Sudan Tribune" that "the Sudanese army, along with the joint force, launched an attack on RSF positions in the western area of El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan state, early this morning."
Reports suggested that the military and its allies caused significant damage to the RSF, compelling them to withdraw as far as Al-Khawi town in the West Kordofan state.
Platforms aligned with the joint force released video clips depicting the destruction of multiple military vehicles, the death of numerous RSF members, and the capture of other groups.
Aerial attacks were conducted by military aircraft against regions under the control of the RSF, such as Al-Mazroub and Bara town.
The RSF, in a press release, mentioned that it participated in conflicts in the regions of Jabal Abu Sunun, Jabal Issa, Al-Ayyara, and west of El Obeid. The statement asserted that the RSF caused severe losses to the army and its allies, resulting in hundreds of casualties, along with capturing significant amounts of gear, equipment, and several combat vehicles, which are currently being counted.
On Tuesday, the military reported that they had made a major breakthrough along all Kordofan fronts, after conflicts engaged by their different units and partner forces.
A statement issued by the military spokesperson's office indicated that the armed forces, along with their allies, carried out their duties effectively, causing significant casualties and damage to the militia's personnel and equipment.
"Several critical areas were protected, and the reallocation was executed as per the predefined strategy." The statement also added that activities are continuing through precise evaluations and that the spirits of the combatants are at their peak.
Kikel’s injury
In a separate update, the Sudan Shield Forces, who are connected to the military, stated that their leader, Abu Agla Kikel, received a "minor" injury while directing combat operations in the Um Sayyala region of North Kordofan.
They verified that Kikel received initial medical assistance on-site before proceeding to oversee the operation until it was completed. A statement from the group mentioned that the confrontations led to the death, injury, and disappearance of their members.
Um Sayyala, part of North Kordofan state, is seen as a key area due to its connection with the White Nile and Khartoum. The military had earlier tried to take control of it but failed, owing to strong opposition from the RSF in defending it.
The Sudan Shield Forces stated that the military operation conducted yesterday in the Um Sayyala region met its goals and formed the initial phase along the North Kordofan front. The operation led to significant casualties among the "militias" in terms of both personnel and equipment, even though they kept trying to launch attacks through three ground waves backed by drones and heavy artillery.
