The Rapid Support Forces said they had seized illegal weapons, counterfeit currency and contraband goods during an operation in Ad-Daein, East Darfur.
The Sudanese group said the raid was part of a broader campaign targeting cross-border smuggling networks operating in the region.
At the same time, the Civilian Protection Force has deployed units along key transport routes connecting Darfur and Kordofan.
Security forces are escorting commercial convoys and working to keep humanitarian supplies moving through conflict-affected areas.
Specialised units have also established checkpoints to protect major transport corridors from armed attacks and highway banditry.
Years of conflict and road blockades have disrupted local markets, making secure supply routes increasingly important for civilians.
Darfur has experienced widespread displacement and extensive damage to infrastructure since fighting erupted between rival military forces.
Recent drone attacks and artillery exchanges have damaged key bridges, further complicating the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Authorities say the joint security effort is intended to improve safety for traders and transport operators travelling across the region.
Analysts warn that keeping major transport routes open is essential to preventing deeper food shortages and economic hardship.
The international community continues to urge all parties to respect humanitarian corridors and allow aid to reach civilians affected by the conflict.
