ADF militants kill at least 20 in series of attacks in North Kivu, DR Congo

Suspected Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) fighters conducted three separate assaults in Beni territory between July 12 and 15, resulting in at least 20 civilian and military fatalities. The attacks, concentrated in and around Mangina, have triggered civilian displacement toward Beni town center. The ADF's operational pattern remains consistent with its ongoing insurgency in the eastern DRC.
