The government of South Sudan has launched a new wave of air strikes targeting rebel positions while issuing a warning for civilians in conflict zones to evacuate for their safety.

Officials said the air strikes are part of a broader military campaign aimed at neutralizing armed rebel groups accused of destabilizing parts of the country. The operations are reportedly focused on areas in the Upper Nile and Jonglei regions, where clashes between government forces and rebel factions have intensified in recent weeks.
