Bombings in South Sudan Kill 7 People, Incl. a Baby, and Destroy MSF Health Facilities

HeadlineMay 05, 2025

In South Sudan, at least seven people were killed, including a 9-month-old baby, and another 20 were injured in bombings on a market in Fangak County in the Greater Upper Nile region. The group Doctors Without Borders said the explosions completely destroyed its pharmacy and damaged its hospital, the area’s only hospital. The perpetrator has not been confirmed, but the deadly attack comes at a time of increasing conflict and amid fears of a new civil war in South Sudan after a power-sharing deal collapsed in March.
