GOMA, Congo (AP) — At least 60 people have been killed in an overnight attack by Islamic-State-affiliated rebel group in eastern Congo, an official said.
The attack was reportedly carried by the Allied Democratic Force in Ntoyo, North Kivu, after residents gathered at 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,” Col. Alain Kiwewa, local administrator of the Lubero territory where Ntoyo is located, told The Associated Press.
