JUBA, April 15 (Reuters) – A South Sudanese government
official on Sunday said Sudan was bombing facilities at the
disputed Heglig oilfield and causing heavy damage after South
Sudanese troops took control of the region on Tuesday.
“They are bombing the central processing facility and the
tanks to rubble as we speak,” South Sudan’s Information Minister
Barnaba Marial Benjamin told reporters in Juba.
There was no immediate comment from Sudanese officials.
