Darfur, southern Sudan. On Saturday 13 July Darfur civil war (ongoing since 2003) showed its latest violence episode: around 9 am an UNAMID patrol (part of the UN-African Union joined force operating in Darfur since 2007 in order to protect civilian population and to guarantee security condition to humanitarian personnel) has fallen into an ambush approximately 25 kilometers west of the Mission's Khor Abeche team site while it was moving from one checkpoint to another. The patrol came under heavy fire from a large unidentified group which engaged the peacekeepers using light weapons and RPG rockets. Seven military personnel were killed and 17 were wounded (13 troopers and 4 police officers); their nationality has not been revealed yet but according to some newspapers they probably belonged to the Tanzanian force.
