[Dabanga] North Kordofan -- The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) says it has captured the towns of Bara, Jabra El Sheikh, and Um Sayala in North Kordofan, which gives it full control of the Export Road, secures several supply routes to the state capital of El Obeid, and prevents any attempt by the RSF to regain a foothold in the area. In a statement, the army says it took control of the three towns on Saturday following what it describes as "carefully planned military operations and fierce fighting".
