The National Salvation Front (NAS), led by General Thomas Cirillo, has accused government forces of attacking its troops in an area between Wonduruba county of Jubek state and Lainya county of Yei River state last week.
NAS spokesman Suba Samuel told Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday that the South Sudan People’s Defense Forces (SSPDF) launched an offensive against their forces on Saturday.
He claimed two of their forces were injured in the clashes and further accused the SSPDF of failing to adhere to the ceasefire agreement in the region.
For his part, Lul Ruai Koang, SSPDF spokesman said the military command in Juba has no information about an attack on NAS in Yei.
