“Gunmen ambushed U.N./African Union peacekeepers in Sudan’s Darfur region and exchanged fire with them for 25 minutes in the third attack on the force in less than a week, officials said on Wednesday.

The unidentified attackers opened fire on the Pakistani armed police unit on Tuesday afternoon as it was escorting a convoy just outside Nyala, capital of south Darfur, the UNAMID mission said.”
