South Sudanese army forces have reportedly entered the Heglig oil field in Sudan's West Kordofan state. The move follows an agreement between South Sudan and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for troop deployment, as Heglig's oil is vital for South Sudan and transported via Sudanese ports. This development occurs amid RSF troop build-ups near Kadugli and Dilling, areas still held by the Sudanese army, and ongoing drone warfare targeting border regions.
