UN peacekeeping forces attacked in Congo

Five United Nations peacekeepers were injured in an ambush today, within the eastern province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The UN Organisation Stabilisation Mission in DRC (MONUSCO), condemning the attack, reiterated that the MONUSOC forces would carry on serving the region, stating,

“This unacceptable attack does not in any way reduce our support for FARDC (DRC Armed Forces) in the fight against armed groups Our brief is to neutralise all illegal armed groups in the east of the DRC and we are determined to carry it out.”
