KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Militants affiliated with the Islamic State group attacked a village in Congo near the border with Uganda early Saturday, killing at least 13 people and burning and looting homes, a local civil society group said. The attacks occurred in the village of Banana École, a suburb of the territorial capital of Mambasa. The ADF, which has roots in Uganda and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group in 2019, has long operated in the border region. In July 2025, the group killed 66 people in eastern Congo in what the United Nations called a “bloodbath.” The country also faces attacks from roughly 100 other rebel groups, most prominently the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group, which has seized key cities in the eastern region.
