ISLAMIC State-linked militia attacked a village in conflict-battered eastern DR Congo killing at least nine villagers, a local official and residents said Sunday.
The attack on Saturday in the village of Ngohi Vuyinga in North Kivu province’s Lubero territory also displaced dozens and several houses burned down, according to Samuel Kagheni, a local civil society leader.
Militia with the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an IS affiliate in the region, attacked the villagers with guns and machetes while they were at their farms, Mr Kagheni said.
