SPLA-IO forces loyal to Riek Machar claimed to have captured Nhialdiu village in Rubkona Count, Unity State – further claiming to have killed 19 ‘government’ (presumably SPLA or SPLA-IO forces loyal to Taban Deng). An SPLA-IO (Deng faction) spokesman later counter-claimed that the attack had been repulsed. As is typical of the conflict, confirming casualties or other details or outcomes of the fight is extremely difficult. [source]
