WSJ: “Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh paid tribute to the five “brave soldiers” who died Tuesday morning in the deadliest attack on the United Nations in South Sudan since the country’s secession in July 2011.
The five Indian soldiers, including a lieutenant colonel, were part of a group escorting a convoy of U.N. civilian staff and contractors. They came under attack near the settlement of Gumuruk in Jonglei state, South Sudan. Around 200 armed men attacked the convoy. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, in which two U.N. staff and five civilian contractors were also killed.
The dead Indian troops have been named as Lieutenant Colonel Mahipal Singh, Shiv Kumar Pal, Hira Lal, Bharat Singh and Nand Kishore.
Nine others, including four Indian soldiers, were injured in the attack, according to reports.
