Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Armed clashes between the Loyoro and Burung communities occurred on April 5, 2025, in Isohe Payam, Ikotos County, Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan, resulting in one fatality and one injury. The motivation for the conflict remains unreported.

Supply chain impact

• Track whether the incident reflects broader ethnic tensions that could affect regional stability in Eastern Equatoria State
