Fighting has intensified in the strategic city of Tina, located in North Darfur, near the Chad border. According to military sources reported by Al Jazeera, the Rapid Support Forces launched an attack on the city, leading to violent clashes involving heavy weaponry between the warring parties. The situation remains tense as military operations around Tina are ongoing, with joint forces and the Sudanese army working to repel infiltration attempts by the Rapid Support Forces.

In a statement, the joint forces supporting the Sudanese army denied claims from the Rapid Support Forces that they had gained control of the city. The joint forces asserted that they successfully defended against the attacks that aimed to forcibly displace the local population. The regional governor of Darfur, Mini Arko Minawi, shared videos claiming that joint forces seized military vehicles and weapons from the attackers, labeling the assault as "criminal behavior" aimed at altering the demographic fabric of the region.

The United Nations has issued alarms regarding the health sector's impending collapse in the area due to the ongoing violence. As clashes continue, the humanitarian implications of this conflict raise concerns where access to medical services will be crucial for the populations affected by the fighting, highlighting the urgent need for international attention and intervention.
