notes: On 6 October 2021, SPLM-IO loyalists clashed with fighters from the Kitgweng faction along the river in Lire or Kier in Wanding payam (note that the sources state that the event occurred in Luakpiny/Nasir county, although geographical information in the source - which states the fighting was around 25km from Akobo town - places the location in the Wanding area of Ulang county, Upper Nile state). The IO said that one person was killed and four wounded (from unspecified sides); whilst the spokesman for the Kitgweng faction said they killed four IO soldiers, whilst two of their soldiers were wounded; and an official from Akobo county said that at least two were killed and four wounded (lowest estimate of one fatality used pending further information). Both sides have accused the other of instigating the clash.
