JUBA, South Sudan (AP) — At least three travelers have been killed and 22 others injured in an ambush on buses traveling on a major highway in South Sudan. Gunmen dressed in military fatigues and armed with AK-47s ambushed two buses and a smaller vehicle along the Juba-Nimule highway on Monday. The attack happened between Nyerjebe and Odemo villages some 55 kilometers (35 miles) from the capital, Juba. The highway crosses to neighboring Uganda. It has been a scene of ambushes since 2016. In August, seven people were killed in an ambush along the same highway.
