According to the details shared, the KDF soldiers thwarted a possible attack within their Area of Operation by a group of armed men suspected to be members of a local armed group.
It is reported that the armed men whose intent was likely to commit atrocities within Kibumba in Nyiragongo territory fired several rounds in the area prompting a Quick Reaction Force to respond, successfully repulsing them and containing the situation.
According to the details, the troops have since enhanced patrols within the areas to deter any further threats, especially to the local population who have since been sensitized to continue with their normal activities.
EACRF continues to protect the livelihood of citizens in areas they occupy and is urging the local population to return back to their homes.
