JUBA, South Sudan – A fatal ambush targeting a United Nations peacekeeping patrol in a remote region of South Sudan has left two peacekeepers dead and seven other people injured, according to an official statement from the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). The brazen attack, carried out by unidentified armed assailants on Monday, has underscored the rapidly deteriorating security situation across the conflict-torn East African nation as a fragile 2018 peace deal teeters on total collapse.
