Sudan's Army Says It Captured RSF Stronghold in North Kordofan

Sudan's army said on Oct. 2, 2026 it had taken al-Mazroub in North Kordofan after battles with the Rapid Support Forces. The army called it the RSF's largest stronghold there and key to cutting supply lines between North and West Kordofan. Control claims in the war since April 2023 are hard to confirm without sustained hold.
