UN Peacekeepers and Workers Killed in South Sudan

Militants in South Sudan attacked a UN convoy, on Tuesday.

Five Indian peacekeepers and seven international workers were killed and nine more were wounded, in the attack.

They were in the Jonglei state, which is one of the most dangerous areas in Africa, due to extremely active rebels.

The UN was quick to remind the world that killing UN peacekeepers is considered a war crime and punishable in the International Criminal Court.
