- The UN rights office cites multiple reports of summary executions with ethnic indicators, as an AFP-authenticated video shows a fighter shooting unarmed detainees at point-blank range.
- Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab reports satellite evidence consistent with bodies on the ground and door-to-door clearance operations that may amount to mass killings.
