South Sudan Cattle Raid Kills 49, Leaves 33 Injured

JUBA, South Sudan — At least 49 people have been killed and 33 others injured in an armed attack involving a cattle camp in South Sudan.

The attack took place in the northwestern part of the country and involved armed cattle raiders from Unity State, according to authorities.

Cattle-related violence has remained a serious problem in South Sudan, where disputes over livestock, land and resources can quickly turn deadly.

The latest attack adds to security concerns in a country already dealing with political and humanitarian challenges.

Authorities are expected to face pressure to improve security around communities and seasonal cattle camps.
