🚨UPDATE: Gunfire near JIA reportedly linked to land dispute
Gunshots heard around the Hongkong area near Juba International Airport (JIA) were reportedly triggered by a land dispute, according to sources familiar with the incident.
Sources say armed security personnel allegedly sent by another individual claiming ownership of the disputed land arrived at a house belonging to a woman locally known as Mary, reportedly to evict her and other occupants.
The attempted eviction reportedly escalated into a confrontation after tenants resisted, prompting the armed personnel to open fire.
It remains unclear whether anyone was injured or killed in the incident. Further details are still emerging.
