South Sudanese state focused on humanitarian crisis and security volatility
A UNMISS patrol in Jonglei state has been ambushed, killing two peacekeepers and injuring seven others, including police and civilian staff. The incident adds to a rising toll of aid workers since January, with 36 killed this year, outweighing all of 2025. UNMISS condemns the attack and calls for a prompt investigation as regional instability deepens the risk of renewed conflict in South Sudan.
