BEIJING (AP) — China’s Foreign Ministry says a number of Chinese nationals are missing after militants attacked their company in Sudan’s volatile South Kordofan region.
The ministry’s statement said the attack occurred Saturday and Sudan launched a search Sunday.
It did not say how many Chinese were missing.
The official Xinhua News Agency said 35 people were at the site when it was attacked and most of them are Chinese.
Xinhua said the Sudan People’s Liberation Army attacked a road-building site.
China has close political and economic relations with Sudan, especially in the energy sector.
