The Sudanese army had seized control of the state broadcasting headquarters from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to their post on X on Tuesday.
"[...] Today, [the armed forces] were able to seize the headquarters of the National Radio and Television Authority [...] from the desecration of the Al-Dagalo terrorist militia [i.e. RSF] and mercenaries from other countries. Your forces dedicate this great victory to the masses of our generous and patient Sudanese people," the post read.
The broadcast building is located in Omdurman, a city across the Nile from Khartoum. Omdurman is an integral component of Sudan's capital and has seen intense fighting near military bases, bridges, and supply routes.
Despite the United Nations Security Council's call for a ceasefire to facilitate the delivery of urgently needed humanitarian assistance to Sudan during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, ongoing conflicts have persisted.
Northern control of "old Omdurman" would be extended with the seizure of the state broadcasting building. However, the RSF maintains authority over the southern and western areas of the city, according to the media.
The army has reportedly deployed drones in Omdurman in an effort to regain territory.
Furthermore, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the leader of the governing Sovereign Council of Sudan, has sworn to continue his nationwide hunting of the RSF, the media reported.
"We will continue to besiege the rebel enemy in every place in this country," al-Burhan was quoted as saying. "Our message to the RSF is that the armed forces and regular military agencies will pursue you everywhere […] until complete victory is achieved."
The conflict in Sudan has had a devastating impact on the local population. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) announced on Tuesday that unless more financing is secured, the provision of food assistance to Sudanese refugees in Chad, many of whom are on the brink of hunger, will be halted in few weeks.
The WFP estimated earlier that about 18 million people in Sudan are suffering from acute hunger, with five million of them experiencing catastrophic hunger, which is the worst situation before famine.
