BENTIU, South Sudan (AP) An official and a witness say Sudanese aircraft have bombed an area near Bentiu, the capital of Unity State in South Sudan, killing a boy and leaving at least two people wounded.
Maj. Gen. Mac Paul, the Deputy Director of Military Intelligence for South Sudan, said Monday that two Mig 29 jets belonging to Sudan dropped three bombs, two of which landed near a bridge that connects Bentiu, the capital of Unity State and Rubkona.
Mac Paul says the other bomb exploded in Rubkona market, a major population area.
An Associated Press reporter saw the body of a young boy killed in the market blast and at least two people wounded.
Sudan and South Sudan have been drawing closer to a full-scale war in recent months over the sharing of oil revenues and a disputed border dispute.
