South Sudan says it has been attacked by Sudanese Armed forces more than nine kilometres inside its border.
The attack comes days after South Sudan announced it is pulling its troops from the disputed town of Heglig to avoid an all-out war with Sudan.
Deputy director of military intelligence for South Sudan Major General Mac Paul said on Sunday that ground troops from Sudan launched three waves of attacks.
The clinical director at the Rubkona Military hospital, Dr Zecharia Deng Aleer, said one dead soldier and two wounded soldiers were brought to the hospital for treatment.
Sudan and South Sudan have been drawing closer to a full scale war in recent months over the unresolved issues of sharing oil revenues and a disputed border.Newer articles:
