The Sudanese army, supported by allied groups, announced the recapture of Wad Madani, the capital of Al-Jazira state in central Sudan, from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, the government spokesman and Minister of Culture and Information Khalid Al-Aiser reported.
"Our forces are currently working on clearing the remnants of the rebels inside the city," the spokesperson of the Sudanese Armed Forces said in a statement.
The army reported earlier in the day inflicting heavy losses on the RSF, following an advance on the city.
The army's intention is to continue advancing until all the Al-Jazira state and ultimately Sudan is liberated, the commander of the Sudanese army's special operations in the Sennar state, bordering the Al-Jazira state, Fath Al-Alim Al-Shoubli told an Al Jazeera correspondent.
On Thursday, the Sudanese army reclaimed the Al-Hajj Abdullah city in the Al-Jazira state.
