Over 70 people have been killed and dozens injured in an attack on a gold mine in South Sudan, Vice President James Wani Igga said in a statement on Monday.
The assault took place over the weekend in Khor-Kaltan, Central Equatoria State, located roughly 70 kilometers southwest of the capital, Juba.
“At least 73 local miners have been tragically killed and 25 others seriously injured,” he said as quoted by several local news agencies. Igga called for an investigation and urged the authorities to identify those responsible, referring to them as “unidentified assailants.”
