At least four Sudanese army soldiers were killed and another two captured in an ambush laid by SPLA forces at oil fields in Pariang County in South Sudan’s Unity state last week, according to the state advisor for security affairs.

Advisor John Malok told Radio Tamazuj that armed elements of the Sudanese military intelligence were caught trying to loot copper cables in the oil fields.

“About four SAF soldiers were killed on the spot and another two arrested in that skirmish,” he said.

He claimed that the arrested soldiers confessed that they are from Sudan’s military intelligence branch.
