At least 33 people were killed when Islamic State-linked Allied Democratic Forces militants attacked Cantine in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, setting homes ablaze and looting the village. The assault also damaged a health facility and forced patients, including people with confirmed or suspected Ebola infections, to flee, raising concerns about further transmission. The attack underscores the severe insecurity in North Kivu, where ongoing violence is complicating the response to a deadly Ebola outbreak.
