DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO: At least 60 people were killed today by an Islamic-State-affiliated militia in the country’s east.

The attack was reportedly carried out by the Allied Democratic Force in Ntoyo, North Kivu, after residents gathered for a burial.

“The ADF attack caused around 60 deaths, but the final toll will be given later this evening because the territory has just deployed services to the area to count the number of beheaded people,” according to Colonel Alain Kiwewa, local administrator of the Lubero territory where Ntoyo is located.
