While holding mass in the Church, Islamic State rebels massacre 38 believers in
Church attacked in Congo

Islamic State-backed rebels killed 38 people on Sunday in an attack on a church in eastern Congo, city officials said.

The attack on Komanda, a city in the northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, is believed to have been carried out by ADF rebels, armed with guns and batons , officials told Reuters.

Jean Kato, an official in the city administration, said worshippers were attending a night mass when rebels attacked the church in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Thirty-eight people were killed, 15 injured and several others are still missing, officials said.

Christophe Munyanderu, a human rights activist present at the scene in Komanda, said shots were heard during the night, but people at first thought they were thieves.

"The rebels mainly attacked Christians who were spending the night in the Catholic church," Munyanderu said.

"Unfortunately, these people were killed with batons or bullets."

The United Nations Stabilization Mission in DR Congo has condemned a recent resurgence of violence in the province where the attack took place.
