[Sudan] Explosions/Remote violence: Shelling/artillery/missile attack

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Artillery exchanges between Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) occurred on April 6, 2025, along the Nyala-El Fasher road corridor in North Darfur, with Joint Forces claiming 10 RSF casualties. This represents continued high-intensity fighting in Sudan's western region, now extending into critical inter-city transport routes.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether fighting spreads to affect broader regional trade corridors or cross-border movements with Chad and Libya.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation that could disrupt the Nyala-El Fasher transport corridor, a key route connecting Sudan's western commercial centers
• Track whether fighting spreads to affect cross-border trade routes with neighboring Chad or Central African Republic
