The media reported the death of 14 soldiers due to a dispute in South Sudan.

A large-scale firefight took place in South Sudan, which claimed the lives of at least 14 soldiers. It is clarified that the cause of the conflict was a love triangle between the officers, CBS News reports.

At least 14 soldiers have been killed and several others injured in South Sudan after an alleged "love triangle" dispute led to a deadly shootout.

The incident occurred at a market in the Abyei oil region, where military personnel from the joint forces protecting the country's top officials were stationed. According to the official version, two officers came into conflict over a relationship with one woman.

The shootout began when one of the soldiers shot his rival. The conflict quickly escalated into an exchange of fire between their bodyguards, and soon gunfire engulfed the checkpoints and barracks.

Army spokesman Lul Roy Koang said the incident was not politically motivated, despite the fact that South Sudan is experiencing a political crisis.
