Sudanese army said it has repulsed two separate attacks by two armed groups in east and north of Darfur region.
The army said in a statement that the two groups moved simultaneously from Libya and South Sudan.
“Our forces and the Rapid Support Forces have managed to repulse simultaneous attacks in North and East Darfur by two armed groups that moved from Libya and South Sudan,” the statement said.
It added that the clashes were still continuing at the two areas of the attacks.
According to the statement, the army succeeded in repulsing the aggression because the armed forces and other security bodies have been closely following the movements of the mercenary armed groups in South Sudan and Libya as they were preparing to target the prevailing peace and stability in Sudan generally and Darfur States in particular.
The army statement did not mention any details on the number of killed and injured people from both sides.
The Sudanese army has been fighting three armed groups in Darfur including the Justice and Equality Movement, the Sudan Liberation Movement and the Sudan Liberation Army.
