Fires broke out at the Diffra, Neem and Kanar oil fields in West Kordofan state after efforts by the Rapid Support Forces to restart the three fields stalled. The fires have raised fears of worsening damage to oil facilities.

Sudan has been in a war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023, and oil fields in the Kordofan region have become contested in the fighting.
