US EditionUganda's president says airstrikes killed 'a lot' of rebels with ties to Islamic State in Congo
- Recent airstrikes in eastern Congo by Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni have killed a significant number of militants, potentially including a prominent bomb maker. These airstrikes targeted four camps of the Allied Democratic Forces , a violent extremist organization responsible for attacks on civilians in the region.
- The ADF, previously active in Uganda, was forced into Congo due to a military operation. The group has been conducting attacks in Congolese villages, resulting in the mass killing of students in 1998. In June, they attacked a school in Uganda, leaving 41 people dead. These recent airstrikes serve as a response to the ADF's continued violence on both sides of the border.
- The Ugandan bomb maker, Meddie Nkalubo, is believed to have been killed in the airstrikes. The operation targeted ADF camps located around 62-93 miles from the Uganda border, aiming to eliminate the presence of the rebels near their own territory.
