The incident, an official said, involved the Apuk and Aguok clans of South
Sudan’s Gogrial state.“The two [clans] clashed over border disputes,
grazing land and water points in the town of Gogrial state,” the deputy
governor of Gogrial state, Agoth Mel said, on Monday.

The injured are reportedly being treated at nearby health facilities.Mel
attributed it to instability and presence of arms in the hand of civilians
across South Sudan for the clashes and mass killings.

Tens of thousands have been killed and more than two million displaced in
South Sudan’s worst ever outbreak of violence since the country seceded
from Sudan in 2011.
