Congo-Kinshasa: French UN Aid Worker Among Three Killed in DR Congo Drone Strike
Karine Buisset was the second humanitarian killed this year amid rising drone strikes in the Goma region, where at least 92 attacks on aid workers have been reported since January.
- On Wednesday, a drone strike in Goma killed Karine Buisset, a French UNICEF aid worker, after attacks hit the Lake Kivu region and a residence near former President Joseph Kabila Kabange's home.
- The M23 rebel group blamed the government for the strike and said three people died, a toll that could not be immediately confirmed; the government did not immediately respond to an AP request for comment.
- U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said Buisset was a dedicated humanitarian, and the U.N. and UNICEF extended condolences while MONUSCO peacekeepers responded to the strike.
- Emergency teams conducted an initial on-site assessment while official attribution remained unsettled, as MONUSCO peacekeepers provided support and the government did not immediately respond to AP.
- According to OCHA, Buisset is the second humanitarian worker killed in the DRC this year amid at least 92 incidents reported since January.
