People in Jilib said they saw the missile attacks, adding that the rockets hit a well at a time when nomadic communities from surrounding areas were fetching water. They said women and children were wounded at the well.
Other reports say an individual with a donkey cart was killed in the attack along with a number of the nomads' livestock.
