NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Officials say Sudan's military dropped several bombs in and near a refugee camp in the new country of South Sudan, killing at least 12 people and wounding 20.

Miabek Lang, the commissioner of Pariang County in South Sudan's Unity State said the planes dropped bombs Thursday in an area called Yida. He said 12 were killed but that the toll could rise.

Jonathan Hutson, a spokesman for the U.S. advocacy group the Enough Project, said aid workers inside the Yida refugee camp told Enough at least one bomb landed in the camp, and three or four fell outside it. Hutson said at least 15,000 refugees who fled violence in Sudan are living in the camp.

South Sudan become independent from Sudan in July, but violence has flared along the disputed border.

South Sudan President Accuses al-Bashir of Planning Invasion

Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- South Sudanese President Salva Kiir rejected allegations by President Umar al-Bashir that South Sudan is backing rebels opposed to the Khartoum government and accused Sudan of plotting to invade his country.

“All these accusations are actually a prelude from Khartoum to justify their pending actions against South Sudan,” Kiir told reporters today in Juba, the South Sudanese capital. “When Bashir invades South Sudan, then he will say yes he took the action to revenge what was being done to him.”

Al-Bashir’s government earlier this month submitted a complaint to the United Nations Security Council that South Sudan is backing rebels in Blue Nile state on the two nations’ border, the state-owned SUNA news agency reported on Nov. 5. “We do not have anything to do with them militarily or politically,” Kiir said today.

South Sudan’s ruling Southern People’s Liberation Movement fought a two-decade civil war with Khartoum that led to the south’s independence on July 9. The rebels fighting al-Bashir’s forces in the Blue Nile and South Kordofan states were previously part of the SPLM. That relationship ended with South Sudan’s independence, Kiir said.
