Militants armed with guns and machetes killed at least 15 people and injured four on Tuesday in an early morning raid on a village in Congo's eastern Ituri province, according to local authorities.
Attackers stormed the village of Syeri Aberkozo just before dawn, hacking residents with machetes and setting several buildings ablaze, sector chief Innocent Matukadala said.
"We have a death toll of 15 persons killed, and four people wounded," he said. "Two of the injured are in critical states, and we don't know if God will allow their survival."
