APDEF reports a provisional toll of 22 civilians killed and 10 abducted in attacks attributed to the ADF in Mambasa, Ituri. The incursions also left one person injured and destroyed two motorbikes and five houses, according to APDEF, which said the toll could rise.
Incursions attributed to the ADF in Mambasa territory also left one civilian injured, while two motorbikes were burned and five houses set alight, according to APDEF. The affected localities include Kangwayi, Misele, Mingazi, Mambaka, Mayi ya Primus, Dongoma, Sukisa and Mabangibangi.
APDEF said several people remain missing and that some areas remain inaccessible, preventing a final toll from being established. The organisation called on residents of Luhindi, Kanyotha, Bumaere, Paseleku and Wamba to increase their vigilance and asked security services to adapt their operations to the methods used by ADF fighters.
