The US Embassy in South Sudan confirms that an American man has been killed in the conflict-torn nation, Fox News reported on Saturday.
South Sudan army spokesman Col. Domic Chol Santo said the man was killed Saturday morning when opposition rebels attacked the town of Kaya on the Ugandan border.
He said that the man was "caught in the fighting" that also left 15 rebels dead.
The opposition said it is looking into the reports.
The man's body is at the military hospital in South Sudan's capital, Juba, until next of kin are notified.
South Sudan's civil war is well into its fourth year, with tens of thousands of people killed.
