KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Congo’s army said militiamen targeting a camp for displaced people in Congo’s east have killed at least a dozen people in attacks on at least two villages in the Ituri province. Local officials and a group that tracks violence in the region put the toll ranging from 18 to 29 dead. The vast majority of those killed in the villages of Drodro and Mba/Dongo were civilians, according to the Kivu Security Tracker, which put the toll at 29 killed after extensive interviews in the area. It had earlier put the toll at 107, but later said that information was erroneous.
