Sudanese Armed Forces and allied Joint Forces recapture Hamrat al-Wiz in North Kordofan, forcing RSF fighters to withdraw from the strategic transit town. The victory strengthens SAF control over key supply routes linking central, eastern, and western Sudan, protects movement toward Khartoum, and creates a buffer around Bara and Jabrat al-Sheikh. Meanwhile, the ICRC reports over 11,000 registered missing persons in Sudan’s civil war, warning the real number is likely far higher as undocumented burials, collapsed hospitals, blackouts, and destroyed communications obstruct tracing efforts.
