A clarification on a previous report. An SPLA spokesman confirmed that a Sudanese government (Khartoum) force had taken an SPLA-occupied town in Unity State. The town is now identified as Mankin (which is near a major oilfield).

Note that this is occurring as Khartoum and the SPLA are conducting a new round of peace negotiations.
