The attack lasted about 2 1/2 hours after which the 1200 strong SPLA-N force retreated to Sarafai. Sudanese Antonovs bombed the area from the beginning of the attack until about 4pm. At least 5 SPLA-N soldiers were injured in the clash, 3 of which were sent to the Mother of Mercy Hospital in Gidele with more serious injuries.
