South Sudan has accused Sudan of carrying out attacks in the disputed border areas involving two attacks with planes and land forces, reports Reuters.
South Sudan's army spokesperson, Philip Aguer, asserted that two Sudanese MiG warplanes bombed military positions in the Jau area on Wednesday, and that Sudanese infantry troops had attempted to seize land just north of the upper Nile state.
Aguer said:
"This is a complete violation of all the agreements, mainly the security arrangements and the creation of a buffer zone."
"Our soldiers are on maximum alert to be on self-defence, but will not react to these provocations."
According to Reuters, Khartoum is denying the attacks.
