The Congolese army has confirmed that extremist-linked rebels have carried out a deadly raid on a rural community in the volatile eastern region near the border with Uganda. At least a dozen people have been reported killed in the latest violence.
The rebels, known as Allied Democratic Forces and with ties to the Islamic State group, have been active in the border area for some time. According to the United Nations, nearly 200 people have lost their lives in the region this year due to ongoing conflict.
