Sudanese Army Destroys 4,500 Mines And Explosives Near Khartoum

The Sudanese Armed Forces announced that they have destroyed a huge stockpile of weapons and explosives near the capital, Khartoum. The operation, carried out at the Wadi Seidna military base, involved dismantling and eliminating more than 4,500 landmines, artillery shells, and other dangerous munitions.

Military officials said the move was part of ongoing efforts to secure the area and prevent armed groups from using leftover weapon stockpiles to destabilize the country. The destroyed materials included both anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, as well as a variety of heavy ammunition, much of which had been collected from previous battle zones.

The army emphasized that the destruction was carefully supervised to ensure public safety, noting that unmonitored stockpiles of explosives pose a major risk to civilians. According to the military command, clearing these weapons is a critical step toward reducing threats in the wider Khartoum area, which has seen heavy clashes over the past year.

Officials highlighted that similar operations will continue across the country to locate and neutralize hidden weapons depots, stressing that this initiative is essential in restoring security and building confidence among local communities.
