ADF rebels signed a new incursion on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, August 26, in the Mbau sector, at the Batangi group in Beni territory, in the province of North Kivu.
The assistant administrator of Beni territory speaks of a provisional toll of at least 20 civilians killed and more than 5 others missing, including a one-year-old baby.
"The rebels attacked the Mbau sector in the Batangi grouping last night," Rosette Kavula said.
"We are counting about at least 20 dead and 5 missing, but we will know a little more after the search the army is doing to find the bodies," she told the press.
She added that the civilians killed in the attack were mostly farmers who were camping in their respective fields and who were surprised by the enemy.
Ms. Kavula reassured that the situation has returned to calm, but in a context of mourning.
