Allied Democratic Forces rebels with machetes and guns killed more than 50 civilians at a funeral in east Congo, the latest big attack by the Islamic State-linked group, officials said.
The ADF assault took place on Monday night in the town of Ntoyo in North Kivu province’s Lubero territory, said Macaire Sivikunula, a local administrator.
“I can confirm a provisional death toll of 50. The victims were caught off guard at a mourning ceremony in the village of Ntoyo at around 9 p.m., and most of them were killed with machetes,” he said. “The search is continuing.”
