Sudan’s armed forces claimed that operations conducted from June 1 through June 14 destroyed 141 vehicles used by the Rapid Support Forces and caused heavy personnel losses. The RSF had not responded to the account when Anadolu Agency published its report.
The military issued the figures in a statement on X and described action on several fronts. Because the supplied source offered no independent battlefield confirmation, every loss total and description of a target remains an assertion by one party to the conflict.
In Darfur, the army said it destroyed 29 combat vehicles and killed dozens of RSF personnel. It also reported striking installations in Nyala, including two ammunition depots, two warehouses for military equipment, two sites storing drone munitions and a principal fuel depot allegedly supporting paramilitary operations.
The statement assigned the largest vehicle figure to Kordofan, where the army claimed 91 were destroyed and dozens of fighters were killed. In Blue Nile state, it listed 21 vehicles and described substantial damage to RSF personnel and equipment. Those regional numbers add up to the announced nationwide total of 141.
For White Nile state, the military reported bringing down an RSF drone over Kenana. It further said weapons, ammunition and other military equipment had been seized during the two-week reporting period. The source did not specify quantities for those captures, identify individual operations or provide a combined fatality count.
Army language characterized the RSF as a terrorist militia and promised continued action until security and stability were restored. That terminology reflects the military’s position and is not adopted as neutral identification in this report. Likewise, the description of facilities as military stores or support infrastructure depends on the army’s account.
Fighting between the armed forces and RSF began in April 2023 amid disagreement over integrating the paramilitary force into the national military. The war has produced a major humanitarian crisis, with tens of thousands killed and nearly 13 million displaced, according to context included by Anadolu. Those broader figures do not verify the specific operational claims announced on June 14.
The lack of an RSF reply or third-party evidence makes it impossible from this material to confirm damage, casualties or control of territory. Images, geolocation, hospital data or independent monitoring would be needed for stronger verification. The statement nevertheless provides a detailed picture of what the military said it had achieved across Darfur, Kordofan, Blue Nile and White Nile during the first half of the month. Its claims remain attributable, not established battlefield facts. No territorial changes were specified, so the reported equipment losses cannot by themselves show whether the operations altered control of any town, road or region.
