August 30, 2025 (HEGLIG) – The Sudanese government on Saturday condemned an attack by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the Heglig oil fields in South Kordofan state, hinting at a potential suspension of operations and evacuation of workers after civilians were killed.

The pre-dawn Saturday assault on the oil fields and their adjacent airport marks the second attack of its kind in less than a week. The area produces 20,000 barrels of oil per day from approximately 75 wells and hosts the central processing facility for South Sudan’s oil.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the government of Sudan “condemns the treacherous attack carried out by the RSF militia on the Heglig oil fields, which resulted in the death and injury of several civilian workers in the area.”
