Citizens in Raja town in South Sudan’s Lol state said the sounds of light guns and heavy artilleries were heard near military barracks on Monday morning.
Speaking to Radio Tamazuj on Monday, several local residents said, the sound of heavy gunfire created fear among citizens and many fled their homes.
A resident, who preferred anonymity said yesterday: “This morning, we heard a sound of gunshots in the town but we didn’t know what was happening. The sound was coming from the military barracks and they were pointing it towards the base of the opposition.”
Radio Tamazuj was unable to reach local authorities in Raja town to comment on the matter.
