RSF claims it seized key oil field at near Sudan southern border
The Rapid Support Forces seized Sudan's largest oil field on Monday, paramilitary, army, and industry sources said, as the militia attempts to wrestle control of the strategic, resource-rich Kordofan region.
An engineer at the Heglig field, in the far south of Kordofan, confirmed the RSF's takeover of the facility, telling AFP the team had "shut it down and halted production, and the workers were evacuated to South Sudan".
Army forces withdrew from the area "to protect the oil facilities and prevent damage", a military source told AFP. (AFP)
