Dozens of Christian worshippers were killed when Islamic State-backed rebels, identified as the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), stormed a Catholic church during a night vigil in Komanda, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The attack left at least 34 to 43 people dead, with many others injured and some reportedly kidnapped. The massacre has drawn widespread condemnation from international leaders, including Pope Leo XIV and the United Nations, who called it a devastating blow to the already vulnerable region. Survivors described a night of terror as attackers burst in, tied up victims, and shot them. The incident highlights the growing threat of Islamist extremism in eastern Congo and the ongoing humanitarian crisis facing local communities.
