Militiamen killed 22 people in two separate attacks in the Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) Ituri province on Sunday and Monday, a local official and a human rights group said, in ongoing violence in the region.
The DRC's government declared martial law in Ituri and neighbouring North Kivu province in 2021 to quell the bloodshed, but deadly raids have continued.
The first attack on Sunday took place in the town of Mongbwalu, in Djugu territory, where 10 people were killed.
