• DRC Three UNHCR workers injured after attack on convoy

A kamikaze killed

at least five people

on Saturday in

Beni,

in the eastern

Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC),

of which the provincial authorities accuse rebels of the

Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) group,

in an official statement.

"The kamikaze, who the guards prevented from entering a

bar full of customers,

activated the bomb at the entrance. The balance, still provisional, is at least six dead, including the kamikaze, and 13 wounded admitted to the hospital", wrote Brigadier General

Sylvain Ekenge,

spokesman for the

North-Kivu

Military Governor

.

A few minutes after the explosion, an

AFP correspondent saw three mangled bodies.

A source from the

Beni City Council

told AFP that

"there are two children"

among the dead

.

"Among the injured are the two deputy mayors of the

Mulekera

and

Ruwenzori

communes,

" he

added, noting that "the ADF terrorists in distress activated their sleeper cells in the town of Beni with a view to taking action against peaceful citizens." .

The bomb exploded inside the

In Box restaurant,

located in the center of the city of Beni, where more than thirty people were celebrating the

Christmas party,

according to two witnesses interviewed by AFP.

Debris from chairs, tables, glasses and bottles were scattered in the restaurant.

On June 27, a homemade bomb blast in a

Catholic church

injured two women.

On the same day, the terrorist was killed in the explosion of his device near a bar and not far from a mosque.

The day before, another machine had exploded, not far from a gas station, without causing damage.

The authorities

accused the ADF rebels of

being responsible for these attacks in the city of Beni.
