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. (Reporting by Ulf Laessing; Writing by Alexander Dziadosz; Editing by Louise Ireland)
