    Government planes carried out two more bombing raids in Bahr al-Ghazal, southern Sudan, on Monday morning. Humanitarian sources told IRIN that two villages northeast of Yirol were hit, in an area not previously targeted. In the first raid, on a village about 15 km from Yirol, three bombs were dropped, killing two people and injuring three others. The second raid targeted a village about 18 km from Yirol. Five bombs were dropped, but there have been no reports of deaths or injuries from humanitarian contacts in the area, the source said.
