The government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have announced they have retaken the city of Bara, the second-largest city in North Kordofan state in the west of the war-torn country, following a military operation they said resulted in expelling the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from the city and inflicting losses in lives and military equipment.

A senior Sudanese army source told Al Jazeera that the air force carried out intensive air attacks in the early hours of Thursday morning against RSF deployment positions inside Bara.
