[REGNUM] At least 40 civilians have died in a series of attacks on several villages in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), Reuters reported, citing its sources. The attacks took place from 25 to 30 August. One of the attacks was against a group of villagers from North Kivu province who had come to Ituri province to search for arable land. Local authorities have warned that the death toll could rise as some people have yet to be found and dozens have been kidnapped. As REGNUM reported , from August 25 to 26, in the province of Tapoa in Burkina Faso, militants attacked a convoy of cars belonging to a gold mine in Bungu. Six people were killed and two others were injured in the incident.
