Sudanese army announced Monday it controlled strategic areas in South Kordofan State after attacking the rebel.
"The government forces have liberated areas of Mardis, Allabo, Kattan, Aqub and Karkaria Al-Biera in South Kordofan State in an operation that has been launched since early this week," Sudanese army spokesman Ahmed Khalifa Al-Shami said in a statement.
"Given the rebel's targeting of innocent civilians, the armed forces had to live up to their national responsibilities and exercised their constitutional duties in confronting the criminals and destroying their positions to end the suffering of the homeland and the citizens," he noted.
He added that the armed forces have inflicted heavy loss in lives and equipment among the rebels, pointing out that a number of government soldiers were killed and others injured.
