GENEVA (Reuters) - The United Nations warned on Friday that forces in Sudan could attack a refugee camp in South Sudan because it was being used by armed groups, an assault that would rekindle tensions between the oil-producing neighbours.

An unidentified aircraft circled Yida camp, in South Sudan's border state Unity, this week, raising fears of a strike, Melissa Fleming, spokeswoman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), told journalists in Geneva.
