Aerial attacks carried out by an Antonov airplane belonging to the Sudanese Air Force left a child dead and three other civilians injured in Blue Nile state, according to the SPLM-N.
The spokesman for the Sudan People’s Liberation-North (SPLM-N) said the Antonov dropped about four bombs on Sunday by targeting the villages of Yabus, Aura, Miyak, and Mofa.
Arnu Ngutulu Lodi said the victim in Yabus was identified as Musa Ahmed, aged 13.
He also accused the National Congress Party (NCP) led government of damaging farmlands in Blue Nile and obstructing humanitarian access.
Separately, Arnu said the SPLA-N managed to carry out two separate attacks on the Sudanese army in Blue Nile state recently.
The SPLA-N inflicted losses on the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in Abu Gerin and Kalgo villages, about 30 kilometres away from Damazin town, he told Radio Tamazuj.
He said four SAF soldiers were killed during the attacks, while admitting that one sergeant from their side called Hassan Awad was captured during the Abu Gerin clashes.
The spokesman called on the government to treat the captive in accordance with the Geneva Convention.
Radio Tamazuj could not reach the Sudanese army to comment on these claims.
