The complaint also accused South Sudan, which obtained its independence in July, of "supporting rebels" against the Khartoum government, foreign ministry front man Al-Obeid Merwah said in a statement.
"Our representative to the U.N. delivered to the president of the Security Council a complaint against the government of South Sudan," he said.
"The government of South Sudan is still causing problems in Sudan by supporting, training and encouraging rebel movements in South Kordofan and Darfur," Merwah said.

No evident military targets were visible near any of the air strike locations the researchers visited, they said.
"The relentless bombing campaign is killing and maiming civilian men, women and kiddies, displacing tens of thousands, putting them in desperate need of aid and preventing entire communities from planting crops and feeding their children," said HRW's Africa director Daniel Bekele.
Amnesty's senior crisis response adviser Donatella Rovera said: "The international community, and particularly the U.N. Security Council, must stop looking the other way and act to address the situation.
"Indiscriminate attacks in civilian areas and restrictions on humanitarian aid could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity."
