At least 60 people were killed in an overnight rebel attack in eastern Congo
- An Islamic State-affiliated rebel group, the Allied Democratic Force , killed at least 60 people overnight in an attack in Ntoyo, North Kivu, eastern Congo.
- The attack occurred after residents gathered at a burial, and the attacker’s method involved gathering people in one place before cutting them, according to local administrator Alain Kiwewa.
- A survivor from the burial told The Associated Press they heard people screaming before fainting, while services were deployed to count beheaded victims and the final toll is pending.
- Since aligning themselves with the Islamic State in 2019, the ADF has intensified its insurgent activities in the region, including deadly large-scale assaults in July that caused dozens of fatalities, further complicating the ongoing conflicts in eastern Congo.
- The attack underscores ongoing insecurity as Congo and Uganda conduct joint operations against the ADF, highlighting rising violence affecting civilians in the border region.
