The Sudanese army's air force carried out airstrikes targeting gatherings and targets described as important for the Rapid Support Forces in the cities of El Fasher and El Geneina in the Darfur region, as part of the ongoing military operations between the two sides.

In a related context, former Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok called for a no-fly zone over Darfur, demanding the intervention of UN forces to protect civilians and stop the military escalation in the region, which has been witnessing violent clashes for weeks.

These developments come at a time when the conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces is escalating, amid international warnings of a worsening humanitarian crisis in Darfur, especially after the fall of El Fasher to the Rapid Support Forces and the subsequent violent clashes in its vicinity.
