Today, the military operations carried out by the Sudanese army against the RSF fighters have entered their second phase, which aims to secure the sovereign sites and comprehensively attack the RSF sites.

"The second phase of the process of securing the areas surrounding the General Command began to reach the center of Khartoum, in conjunction with the rest of the regions gradually," the office of the official spokesman for the Sudanese army said in a press statement today.

Marking the start of the second phase, what resembles an operation to encircle the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, began today through ground forces and air support, according to eyewitnesses and military sources.

Since the outbreak of military clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces on April 15, the General Command building has formed a major center for confrontations.

The Army General Command building acquires strategic importance as it includes several important buildings, including the intelligence building, and it also houses the guest house in which the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces usually resides.

The command building is also located near the airport area, which is linked by several entrances with the general command building.
The headquarters of the General Command is located in the center of the capital, Khartoum, and it consists of five buildings: the Land Forces Building, the Naval Forces Command, the Air Force Building, Military Intelligence and the Ministry of Defense.

The Sudanese army said that today (Wednesday) it is responding to a new attack by the Rapid Support Forces on the vicinity of the army's general command in central Sudan.

"The armed forces are responding to a new attack on the vicinity of the General Command, and the enemy suffered heavy losses in lives and destroyed a number of combat vehicles," the office of the Sudanese army spokesman said in a press statement today.

The Sudanese army officially announced today the extension of its control over the Merowe airport and the air base attached to it in northern Sudan.

Video clips published by the Sudanese army showed that the army fighters took control of the airport and the base and were deployed there.

Clashes continued today between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in central Khartoum around the headquarters of the Sudanese army's general command.

Violent explosions sounded in the vicinity of the General Command in central Khartoum, while columns of smoke rose around the area.

A smoke cloud spreads over Khartoum International Airport due to the ignition of fuel tanks inside the airport, according to eyewitnesses.

Violent clashes also broke out this morning in the Kafouri camp of the Rapid Support Forces in the city of Khartoum North.

The two sides announced yesterday (Tuesday) their commitment to a humanitarian truce proposed by international parties for a period of 24 hours, but the clashes are still continuing.

The bloody fighting broke out on April 15, between the two largest military forces in Sudan, after the Rapid Support Forces pushed about 100 vehicles towards the Marawi base in northern Sudan, which the Sudanese army considered an illegal mobilization, and it took place without coordination with it.

And the Sudan Doctors Syndicate announced that the death toll from the ongoing clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has risen to 174.

The Syndicate noted that there are a number of injuries and deaths that are not included in this statistic, due to the inability to reach hospitals due to the difficulty of movement and the security situation in the country.
