[EMUNDO America] They were heading to Nyala airport, the capital of the South Darfur state in Sudan, under the control of the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces.
The Sudanese Army has claimed to have shot down a UAE plane carrying dozens of Colombian mercenaries, as reported by the Sudanese official television, adding that they were heading to Nyala airport, the capital of the South Darfur state in Sudan under the control of the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
According to the television reports cited by several local media, the plane was carrying at least 40 mercenaries and weapons shipments were also destroyed in the attack.
According to the military version, the plane was shot down during landing thanks to intelligence from the Army's secret services, which had been tracking the flight of the aircraft since its takeoff from an airbase in the Persian Gulf, without specifying its origin.
The Army emphasized that this attack represents "a clear message both domestically and internationally: Sudanese sovereignty is a red line", as reported by local media Sudan Ajbar and Sudan Tribune. It also stressed that the goal is to curb foreign interference.
This attack comes two days after the Sudanese government, controlled by the military leadership, reiterated its denunciation of the involvement of Colombian mercenaries fighting alongside the paramilitary group RSF in the ongoing war in the African country, following a surge in violence in the strategic western region of Darfur.

An 18-year-old resident of Ingushetia faces forced treatment in a psychiatric hospital for preparing an attack on security forces and a terrorist attack in Sunzha.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot", at the end of April the investigation reported that the case of two young men accused of preparing an attack on security forces and an Orthodox church in Sunzha had been transferred to court. The case of the third defendant was separated into a separate proceeding. The investigators did not report on the other defendants in the case, although initially there were six detainees.
In August 2024, it became known that six residents of Ingushetia had been detained, who, according to investigators, were preparing attacks on security forces and an Orthodox church in Sunzha. One of the suspects stated that he had received instructions from a native of Dagestan living in Syria. According to the Magas District Court, three of the suspects were minors at the time of their detention.
The prosecution is demanding compulsory medical measures for an 18-year-old resident of Ingushetia, accused of a number of terrorist crimes, including the preparation of a terrorist attack in Sunzha. At the time of the crimes, he was a minor.
The case of a young man who was initially arrested and then temporarily placed in a psychiatric hospital has been referred to court. Since the accused was found to have a mental disorder, he faces compulsory treatment, the Investigative Committee's Ingushetia department reported on August 7.
In addition to preparing a terrorist attack and illegal trafficking of weapons and explosives, the young man is accused of participating in an illegal armed group and involvement in terrorist activity. The investigation believes that while preparing a terrorist attack in Sunzha and an armed attack on security forces, the young man illegally acquired automatic firearms and explosive devices, which he kept in a hiding place on the outskirts of the Sunzhensky District.
“In addition, the defendant persuaded two local residents to commit terrorist crimes,” the official Telegram channel of the republican Investigative Committee said.
The case of the other two defendants is still being heard in court, the department noted.
Gaza, Palestine, August 7, 2025, 22:51 — IA Regnum. Israel has allowed four times fewer trucks with humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip than the European Union promised. This was reported on August 7 by the Euractiv portal, citing a document from the European Commission.
“Between 31 July and 4 August, the UN and our partners report that 188 trucks were unloaded at crossing points into Gaza,” the document says.
However, that is significantly less than the roughly 800 trucks that an EU official says are supposed to be arriving in Gaza every five days under a deal recently reached by the EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, with Israel. Under that agreement, the details of which remain unclear, about 160 trucks of humanitarian aid are supposed to be arriving in Gaza every day.
According to the UN, between 500 and 600 trucks a day are needed to prevent further famine.
The document also notes that Israel claims 737 trucks passed through the two main crossings at Kerem Shalom and Zikim between July 31 and August 4. But the source says Israel includes commercial and GHF operations in its daily truck count.

DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on Thursday the arrest of two Islamic State (ISIS) operatives during a targeted security operation in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
According to a statement issued by the People’s Protection Units (YPG), a component of the SDF, the operation was carried out in the village of Hawi al-Dhiban, a known hotspot for ISIS activity, with direct support from the US-led Global Coalition.
The SDF’s Tactical Operations Units (TOL), specialized in counterterrorism efforts, led the raid.
