Overview
- Military statements say troops opened the Kadugli–Dilling road and entered the South Kordofan capital, with no immediate RSF comment.
- The move follows last week’s reported end of the RSF siege of Dilling, signaling a potential shift in momentum across Kordofan.
- A drone strike hit a Kadugli medical center, killing women and children, according to the Sudan Doctors Network.
- The UN confirmed famine in Kadugli last year, with over 80% of residents displaced and aid agencies reporting soaring prices and scarce medical care.
- Sources told Reuters the advance was helped by disruptions to RSF supply lines from Libya and by army drones and locally recruited allies, while Egypt has not acknowledged any military role.
