AU-UN Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) peacekeepers have repelled two attacks by armed men in Kass, 85 kilometers northwest of Nyala, South Darfur, the mission said Friday.

UNAMID said in a statement that the shootout resulted in at least four attackers killed and six peacekeepers and one assailant injured.

I condemn the attacks on the peacekeepers and reiterate the Mission's resolve to continue to respond decisively and robustly to any acts of this kind, AU-U.N. Acting Joint Special Representative for Darfur Abiodun Bashua said in the statement.
