Medical humanitarian NGO, Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, says one of its hospitals in South Sudan was hit by a government air strike, amid renewed fighting between soldiers and a coalition of opposition forces in opposition-held areas.

The night attack on the hospital in Lankien, Jonglei state, on Tuesday, marks the 10th attack in 12 months on an MSF-run medical facility in the country.
