Deadly attack on South Sudan UN base

A rocket attack on a UN base in northern Mali kills a peacekeeper and two civilians, a day after an Islamist group killed five people in the capital.

Three people have been killed in a rocket attack on a UN peacekeepers' base in northern Mali, the UN says.

The United Nations says it fears casualties after attackers forced their way into a UN peacekeeping base in South Sudan's Jonglei state.

UN ambassador said Wednesday that nearly 180,000 people sheltering in UN bases in his war-torn country should be encouraged to return home despite ongoing fighting.

The UN expresses outrage at a deadly attack on one of its bases in South Sudan, saying it could "constitute a war crime".
