UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous on Friday accused Khartoum of air strikes in the vicinity of a refugee camp in South Sudan a day earlier, an allegation that Sudan has rejected.

"Yesterday UNMISS (the U.N. mission in South Sudan) confirmed that the Sudan Armed Forces dropped at least two bombs near the Yida refugee camp ... with unknown casualties," Ladsous told a meeting of the U.N. Security Council on the incident.
