JUBA, Sudan, June 13 (Reuters) - South Sudan's army said northern military aircraft carried out a bombing raid in southern territory on Monday, the second time the south has accused the north of bombing its territory in less than a week.

"There has been another bombing of the south. It was this morning, at the same location (as Friday), at Jau in Unity state. It was more Antonovs from Khartoum," southern military spokesman Philip Aguer told Reuters.

A spokesman for the northern military was not immediately available to comment. (Reporting by Jeremy Clarke; Writing by Alex Dziadosz; Editing by Giles Elgood)
