The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) successfully broke a nearly two-year-long siege by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement–North (SPLM-N) in the city of Dilling this week. Military officials confirmed that SAF troops reached the town after capturing the nearby strategic area of Habila, effectively opening a corridor to SAF-controlled territories in North Kordofan. Military experts describe the move as a significant gain that could serve as a precursor for a larger offensive on Kadugli, the capital of South Kordofan. However, the victory remains precarious; following the breakthrough, reports emerged of suicide drone attacks in Dilling that killed at least five civilians. The UN has cautioned that while the supply route may eventually alleviate shortages, the humanitarian situation in the city remains volatile, with deep shortages of food and medical supplies persisting due to prolonged isolation.
