A crew member was killed and two others were injured when a United Nations helicopter on an evacuation mission in a remote part of South Sudan was attacked on Friday, the U.N. mission in South Sudan said, as violence escalated in fighting that threatens a fragile peace deal between the country's top two leaders.
The attack took place in the Nasir area of South Sudan's Upper Nile state, according to UNMISS, which said in a statement that the helicopter “came under fire" as it attempted to evacuate government troops from the area.
