Two UN Peacekeepers Killed in South Sudan Ambush Two UN peacekeepers have been killed and seven others injured after unidentified gunmen ambushed a UNMISS patrol in South Sudan's eastern Jonglei state. The injured include three peacekeepers, two national police officers and two civilian staff. UNMISS chief Anita Kiki Gbeho condemned the attack and called for a prompt investigation, warning that attacks on peacekeepers may constitute war crimes. The incident comes as renewed violence puts South Sudan's fragile peace process under increasing strain.
