Kapoeta Under Fire: Gunmen Raid NSS Office, Leave Five Critically Injured: Governor Blames SPLA-IO for Deadly Kapoeta Security Raid

-

 

‎


‎KAPOETA, Eastern Equatoria A violent raid on Wednesday evening targeting the National Security Service (NSS) office in Kapoeta town has left at least five officers wounded several in critical condition, according to state authorities.

‎

‎Attack Details

‎

‎Governor Louis Lobong Lojore of Eastern Equatoria State described the perpetrators as a group “affiliated with SPLA-IO,” who launched a coordinated assault on the NSS facility. The attackers opened fire directly on the building before retreating toward the Singaita River. 

‎

‎Between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., gunshots were also reported toward a nearby military barracks.  

‎

The governor stated that responding security forces who pursued the assailants were ambushed near the river, where attackers, hidden in the bush, struck from the highway. 

‎

‎Casualties & Response

‎

‎Authorities confirm that approximately five officers sustained gunshot wounds, with “several of them critically” injured. They are currently receiving treatment at Kapoeta Hospital. 

‎

‎Governor Lobong condemned the raid as a deliberate attempt to destabilize the region, adding that the assault had caused panic among local residents.  

‎

He assured the public that calm has largely returned, and that pursuit operations to apprehend the attackers are underway. 

‎

‎He claimed that six to nine suspects have been identified and remain at large, and pledged continued efforts to bring them to justice.  

‎

As of the time of the report, SPLA-IO had not issued a response to the allegations.

‎

‎Wider Implications

‎

‎This attack underscores the volatile security situation in parts of South Sudan, particularly in border or peripheral areas like Eastern Equatoria. 

‎

The use of ambush tactics and targeting of government security infrastructure suggest a high level of planning and intent.
