More than 100 people including women and children have been killed in a cattle raid by rebels in South Sudan.
Jonglei governor Kuol Manyang said on Sunday the people of Walgak in Akobo county were migrating north to the wetlands with cattle on Friday when they came under attack.
He said 103 people were killed, including 14 soldiers from an army platoon escorting them. The rest were civilians, mostly women and children.
Deputy military spokesperson Kella Kueth has confirmed the incident and says about 500 people are still missing.
Mr Manyang says the raiders were a mixture of civilians and armed rebels and were all ethnic Murle from Pibor county in Jonglei.
