This place is almost completely isolated from the outside world, and Sudan is experiencing intense fighting! Communication and network interruption heavy artillery | capital | battle
On the 20th local time, the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces continued to engage in fierce fighting in the capital city of Khartoum and its surrounding areas, including the capital circle composed of North Khartoum and Entuman, and the western Darfur region. The conflict in the southern region of Khartoum has escalated.
On the 20th, the Sudanese Armed Forces launched fierce airstrikes and shelling on the Sports City in southern Khartoum, which is the core position of the Rapid Support Force in the southern part of the capital circle. At the same time, both sides in the conflict engaged in fierce fighting near the armored headquarters using heavy weapons such as tanks and heavy artillery. The fighting between the two sides lasted for a whole day, with thick smoke covering almost the entire southern part of the capital circle. Local residents have reported that this is the most intense fighting between the two sides in the region since the outbreak of the Sudanese armed conflict.
A local humanitarian rescue group in Sudan stated that a nearby residential area was shelled on the same day, resulting in the death of three civilians, including one child, and multiple others injured. The Sudanese Armed Forces issued a statement on the same day, stating that they repelled the rapid support unit attack at the armored headquarters, causing significant personnel and equipment damage to the other party. The Rapid Support Force posted a video on social media showing their soldiers fighting near the armored unit headquarters.
In addition, the rapid support forces continued to besiege the engineering headquarters in the southern part of Entuman City on the 20th, and the Sudanese armed forces held their positions with strong firepower. The peripheral Sudanese armed forces are attempting to seize control of the Shambat Bridge, which spans the Nile River and connects Entuman with North Khartoum. This bridge connects the supply line for rapid support forces to transport troops and weapons from the western Darfur region to the capital circle, and the competition between the two sides around the area has been ongoing for decades.
In another main battlefield of the conflict, the Darfur region, a new round of intense fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces has entered its 11th day in the capital city of Nyala, South Darfur, Sudan. The conflicting parties occupy the western and eastern parts of the city respectively, using heavy artillery, tanks and other heavy weapons to attack each other in multiple areas. The fighting continues to escalate, and the entire city is plunged into comprehensive chaos. At present, all local hospitals have ceased services, and communication and network services have been completely interrupted, almost completely isolated from the outside world.
The local humanitarian rescue group stated on the 20th that the continuous fighting has caused a large number of civilian casualties in the city of Nyala, but due to the ongoing conflict, it is not possible to accurately calculate the number of civilian casualties. The organization warns that the humanitarian situation in Nyala is a comprehensive disaster, with a severity exceeding all expectations.
