Battle Of Kadugli
The Battle of Kadugli is an ongoing siege in Kadugli, South Kordofan State, Sudan, during the current Sudanese civil war. It involves two aligned rebel factions, the SPLM-N (al-Hilu faction) and the Rapid Support Forces, that are trying to capture the city from the Sudanese Armed Forces. Background Kaduqli is the capital of South Kordofan, a region which was affected by an insurgency of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement–North (SPLM-N). The fighting was both a spillover of the previous Second Sudanese Civil War as well as ethnically motivated, as the local Nuba people have historically suffered under oppression by northern Sudanese regimes and accordingly supported the SPLM-N. In 2017, the SPLM-N split into two major factions. The rebels in South Kordofan aligned with Abdelaziz al-Hilu, an ethnic Nuba, who opposed compromises with the Sudanese government. Even after the Sudanese Revolution of 2019, al-Hilu opposed the agreements between other SPLM-N factions and the co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Battles Involving Sudan
A battle is an occurrence of combat in warfare between opposing military units of any number or size. A war usually consists of multiple battles. In general, a battle is a military engagement that is well defined in duration, area, and force commitment. An engagement with only limited commitment between the forces and without decisive results is sometimes called a skirmish. The word "battle" can also be used infrequently to refer to an entire operational campaign, although this usage greatly diverges from its conventional or customary meaning. Generally, the word "battle" is used for such campaigns if referring to a protracted combat encounter in which either one or both of the combatants had the same methods, resources, and strategic objectives throughout the encounter. Some prominent examples of this would be the Battle of the Atlantic, Battle of Britain, and the Battle of France, all in World War II.

2025 Kadugli Shelling
On February 3, 2025, 44 people were killed and dozens more were wounded in Kadugli when artillery shelling hit the city's main market and other residential areas within the city. The SPLM-N was accused of the attacks by the SAF to destabilize the area as part of the ongoing siege over Kadugli and fighting in the South Kordofan State. Background The war in Sudan began in April 15, 2023, when RSF forces began attacking SAF positions in the capital of Khartoum along with other cities in the Darfur region to overthrow the government. This caused Sudan to plunge into warfare, with many cities and towns being fought over between the two sides in Darfur, Khartoum, and the Kordofan regions. In June 2023, the al-Hilu faction of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement–North broke the ceasefire agreement with the SAF and attacked SAF positions in Kadugli, Kurmuk, and Dilling. The SPLM-N took control of the road that connected Kadugli with El Obeid El-Obeid (, ''al-ʾAbyaḍ'', li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Katyusha Rocket Launcher
The Katyusha ( rus, Катю́ша, p=kɐˈtʲuʂə, a=Ru-Катюша.ogg) is a type of rocket artillery first built and fielded by the Soviet Union in World War II. Multiple rocket launchers such as these deliver explosives to a target area more intensively than conventional artillery, but with lower accuracy and requiring a longer time to reload. They are fragile compared to artillery guns, but are cheap, easy to produce, and usable on almost any chassis. The Katyushas of World War II, the first self-propelled artillery mass-produced by the Soviet Union,Zaloga, p. 150. were usually mounted on ordinary trucks. This mobility gave the Katyusha, and other self-propelled artillery, another advantage: being able to deliver a large blow all at once, and then move before being located and attacked with counter-battery fire. Katyusha weapons of World War II included the BM-13 launcher, light BM-8, and heavy BM-31. Today, the nickname ''Katyusha'' is also applied to newer truck-mount ...
