Two civilians killed and eight injured in shelling in Kadugli, Sudan

The Sudanese army reported that rebels shelled an army garrison in the State of South Kordofan today, and some shells hit inside the city of Kadugli. Latest reports indicate that two children were killed and eight other civilians injured.

This incident is another violent episode in the on-going violence in southern Sudan. Travellers should be aware that some countries advise their citizens to avoid all travel to South Sudan at this time due to the very high threat of armed conflict and lack of personal security.
