JUBA —More than 50 people, including women and children, were killed in attacks along South Sudan’s border with Sudan, a local official said on Monday, in the deadliest incident in a spate of attacks since 2021 related to a boundary dispute.

Armed youth from South Sudan’s Warrap State carried out the raids into the neighboring Abyei region, said Bulis Koch, the information minister for Abyei.
