Islamic State-Linked Militants Kill 10 in Uganda's Kamwenge District

The Allied Democratic Forces, who crossed from neighboring Congo last month, continue their deadly attacks despite joint military operations.

At least 10 people have been killed by militants with ties to the Islamic State group during an attack in Uganda’s western district of Kamwenge.
The Allied Democratic Forces militants attacked the village early Tuesday morning.
The ADF militants who attacked Kamwenge district had crossed from the neighboring Congo last month and were being hunted by the military.
Despite airstrikes and joint security operations by the militaries of Uganda and Congo, the militants continue to launch deadly attacks on locals and security forces across the border of the two countries.
In October, the group killed two tourists and their local driver at a national park in the Kasese district near the border with Congo.
