Islamic State-Linked Militants Kill 33 in Eastern Congo Village Attack Amid Ebola Outbreak
Islamic State-affiliated Allied Democratic Forces militants attacked a village in North Kivu, eastern Congo, killing at least 33 people and burning over 50 homes. The violence forced residents, including confirmed and suspected Ebola patients, to flee amid the region's ongoing Ebola outbreak, which has caused over 10,000 cases and 5,000 deaths nationwide. Local officials and civil society leaders condemned the attack, highlighting security failures despite the presence of government forces. The ADF has a history of violent attacks in the area.
