June 29, 2915 (MALAKAL)- A stray bullet hit an infant on the leg at
the United Nations protection of civilians site in South Sudan’s Upper
Nile state capital, Malakal following violent clashes between the
country’s main rival forces over the weekend.
In a brief statement issued Monday, Farhan Haq, the deputy spokesman
of the UN Secretary General, said some mortar rounds landed near the
UN base in Malakal.
“Some mortar rounds landed near the UNMISS compound outside Malakal
Town during the height of the fighting on Saturday, 27 June and some
stray bullets entered the Mission’s protection-of-civilians site,
wounding one infant in the leg,” said Haq.
"Sporadic gunfire continued in Malakal yesterday [Sunday]," added the
UN official.
Eyewitnesses told Sudan Tribune that the Upper Nile state capital was
attacked by armed opposition forces on Saturday evening as fighting
continued all through the night.
The armed opposition forces on Sunday claimed to have taken control of
the strategic oil-rich state capital, which has changed hands several
times between the two rival forces.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed and nearly two million
have been displaced since fighting started in the young nation in
mid-December 2015.
