More than a dozen vehicles set on fire in latest eastern DRC attack blamed on the Allied Democratic Forces armed group.
Many people are feared missing in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) after attackers ambushed a convoy and set fire to more than a dozen vehicles. The attack on Wednesday morning took place close to the town of Ofai, the Kivu Security Tracker (KST), a United States-based monitor of violence in the region said on Twitter, adding that “the final death toll is as yet unknown.” There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Jean-Paul Ngahangondi, a member of the Ituri province’s parliament, blamed the assault on the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an armed group accused of killing thousands of people in recent years.
