Three people died this morning when a vehicle they were traveling in was attacked by bandits along Juba-Yei Road.

The Juba-bound vehicle, which was carrying several passengers, was attacked about 50 kilometers from Yei town.

“That vehicle was coming alone without escort,” said a relative of one of the victims.
