| SPLA-IO overruns SSPDF garrison near Sudan border in Unity State | |
| 2026-01-05 | |
Speaking to Sudans Post, SPLA-IO Sector Two spokesperson Major Kerbino Yai Pazale said government forces launched a coordinated attack on SPLA-IO positions at Nyuelnyuel, also known as Kubri Jamus, an area where both sides maintain nearby bases roughly three kilometers south of the Sudan border. Pazale said SSPDF troops attacked from two directions but were repulsed after more than an hour of fighting, forcing government forces to retreat and abandon their position. “Today, at around 8:30 p.m. local time, the SSPDF attacked our forces stationed in Nyuelnyuel from two directions,” Pazale said. “One force advanced from Kubri Jamus near the Ngol River, while the other came from the direction of Pan Akuach.” “The fighting lasted for about one and a half hours,” he added. Pazale said SPLA-IO fighters pushed back both attacking forces, forcing one unit to retreat eastward toward Pan Akuach and the Bentiu–Heglig highway, while the other withdrew west toward Kaikang in Mayom County.
