STORYLINE:

The Security Council today expressed deep alarm over the military clashes in the region bordering Sudan and South Sudan, which threaten to precipitate a resumption of conflict between the two countries, worsen the humanitarian situation and lead to further civilian casualties.

Reading out a press statement issued by the 15-member body, United Kingdom Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant called on the governments of Sudan and South Sudan "to exercise maximum restraint and sustain purposeful dialogue" aimed at peacefully addressing the outstanding issues currently fuelling the mistrust between them.

Reacting to the press statement, Sudanese Ambassador Daffa-Alla Elhag Ali Osman stressed that when his country's security is threatened inside its territory by rebel movements "we have every right to use all possible means to repel and put an end to those attacks."

He said there had had been no aerial bombardment by his country's forces. Any allegations that there had been were "just a pretext used to deceive people."
