ADF attack:The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for its first attack by the ADF/ISCAP in Haut-Uélé province.

 

We had earlier written about this last month as indicate in our publications.

This implies an expansion of their operational area, although sleeper cells have existed in this region, long considered a safe haven for the ADF leadership.

Most OSINT and HUMINT collections confirmed the incident within the civilians and  provincial authorities, who specified that the attack targeted the Watsa territory in the Matuya area. They indicated that they had not yet formally identified the attackers, while also stating that they had deployed units of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo to secure the area.
