KAMWENGE – Reports coming in indicate that a group of Suspected Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) militants have claimed the lives of at least 7 individuals in Kamwenge district.
The attack is said to have unfolded during the early hours of Tuesday at Kyabandara Trading Center, catching residents unaware as they slept.
Moses Tukundane, a local resident, revealed that the raids commenced at 1:00 AM, inducing shockwaves throughout Kamwenge.
In response, UPDF forces have swiftly deployed to the area to apprehend the assailants and reassure the public of their safety, as communicated by local leaders.
As of the latest update, the Police has not yet issued a statement on the incident.
President Museveni recently disclosed UPDF’s pursuit of an ADF faction responsible for sporadic raids, resulting in the loss of innocent lives.
These ADF elements, escaping UPDF’s aerial attacks in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), have resorted to sending small infiltrator groups, such as the one led by Njovu, implicated in the recent tourist killings.
Museveni reported on December 3, 2023, that efforts are underway to locate the remaining members of Njovu’s group in the Kibaale National Park area.
