what of the fighting that broke up between UPDF and FARDC in Djugu?


 There is a reported crash that  happened on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, in the town of Djugu, 75 kilometers north of Bunia in Ituri province, where the armies of the two countries usually cooperate in operations against armed groups.


The clash arose from a conflict between the two forces, which are engaged in this war, after the UPDF arrested two civilians suspected of being CODECO fighters.


According to the head of the Djugu Territory and other sources, the clash took place at around 4:00 am on Tuesday, December 2, when gunshots were heard near the headquarters of the local administration.


According to allegations, some Ugandan soldiers, who were drunk, fired at the FARDC camp, which led to a clash between the two countries.


There are also allegations of that shortly before this incident, FARDC soldiers had gone to the UPDF base to demand the release of the detainees, but a disagreement arose, leading to a clash.


The clash left two FARDC soldiers dead, including the bodyguard of the Djugu leader, while another was seriously injured.


The Ugandan military also seized two AK-47 rifles, two boxes of ammunition, six full magazines, and an estimated 1.6 million Congolese francs.
