A UN helicopter undertaking a critical evacuation mission in South Sudan's war-torn Upper Nile state came under fire.
The attack tragically resulted in the deaths of several soldiers, a UN crew member, and heightened tensions in the region.
The UN has condemned the attack as a potential war crime, emphasizing the violation of international humanitarian law.
This incident fuels fears that South Sudan, still recovering from a brutal civil war, could relapse into further conflict.
