South Sudan accuses Sudan of attacks in disputed borderland

JUBA (Reuters) - South Sudan accused Sudan's army on Friday of launching two separate attacks with planes and land troops on areas near their disputed border, in a new sign of friction between the former civil war foes.

Relations between the African neighbours hit a low when Sudan threatened last month to halt South Sudanese oil exports passing through the north unless Juba cut ties with rebels operating across the shared border. South Sudan denies any such links.
