JUBA — A Sudanese air raid on a border city in South Sudan killed five civilians Saturday, a local official said, as Juba's army claimed to still be in control of the disputed oil hub of Heglig.A Sudanese plane bombed Bentiu, capital of South Sudan's oil-rich border state of Unity, leaving five people dead and six others wounded, state government spokesman Gideon Gatfan said.
"Five traders have been killed," he told AFP. "The bomb fell next to a place where cars are being sold.
"We also found that six people were wounded including one woman and they are now admitted to Bentiu Hospital," he said.
Gatfan said earlier that the raid had failed to destroy its target, a bridge linking Bentiu to a road leading to the border between Sudan and South Sudan some 60 kilometres (35 miles) to the north, the theatre of fierce clashes in recent days. Read More
