Gunmen kill more than 20 people during church service in DR Congo

[Regnum] Militants from the extremist group "Alliance of Democratic Forces" (ADF)
…they started out as Salafists in Uganda, but after a bit too much nastiness were driven into eastern DRC, where they eventually signed up with ISIS as well as snagging funding and training from the government of Sudan on top of taxing local illegal loggers and miners ….
killed more than 40 people in the village of Komanda in Ituri Province in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This was reported on July 27 by the Congolese radio station Okapi.

An armed group attacked the village on the night of July 27, the media reports. 43 people were killed, including 20 parishioners who were inside the church for night prayer. The militants set fire to several public buildings and private homes.

"According to military authorities, the alarm was raised at around 2am after smoke rose from burning houses. When they arrived, the attackers had already left the scene. They reportedly left their stronghold on Mount Hoyo and headed along Bogi Road, located about 12 kilometres from the centre of the Command, to carry out these actions," the publication reported.

The government forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, together with units of the Ugandan army operating in Ituri province in coordination with the government of the DRC, are currently searching for the militants.

The anti-government group ADF was formed in Uganda in 1995. In 2003, under pressure from the Ugandan armed forces, ADF units retreated and took refuge in the eastern regions of the DRC, from where they regularly carry out attacks on military and civilian targets.

In April, 148 people died when a wooden boat sank in the DRC. According to Kompetent Loyoko, the commissioner for river affairs, a fire broke out on board while one of the passengers was cooking. There were about 500 passengers on the boat. Dozens of passengers, including women and children, panicked and jumped into the water, dying because they did not know how to swim.

Immediately after the terrorist attack in Crocus, the perpetrators received 135,000 rubles
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Four direct perpetrators of the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall concert hall received 135 thousand rubles from their curators immediately after the attack. Information about this is contained in the materials of the criminal case.

The curator transferred the money to the bank card of one of the perpetrators, Shamsidin Fariduni (included in the list of terrorists and extremists by Rosfinmonitoring).

“At the same time, on March 22, 2024, immediately after the above-mentioned terrorist act, an unidentified member of the criminal organization carried out operations from the account of Yusufzoda Yakubdzhoni (included by Rosfinmonitoring in the list of terrorists and extremists) to transfer funds to the card of Fariduni Shamsidin in the amount of at least 135 thousand rubles in order to enable Mirzoyev Dalerzhon, Faizov Muhammadsobir, Fariduni and Rachabalizoda Saidokrami (all are on the list of terrorists and extremists) to leave the territory of the Russian Federation,” TASS cited an excerpt from the case materials.

Israel Accused of Kidnapping 21 from Handala Ship
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Israeli forces kidnapped 21 people from the Handala ship, which was heading to the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid as part of the Freedom Flotilla action. The organizers of the action reported this on social networks on July 27.

"Israeli forces illegally boarded the Handala in international waters, kidnapping 21 unarmed civilians. Demand that your government stop complicity in Israeli war crimes, allow unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid, and call for the immediate release of all crew members," X (formerly Twitter) said in a post.

The Handala left Sicily on July 13 with new humanitarian aid for Gaza. It was carrying food and medicine. The ship was stopped about 70 miles from the Gaza Strip and towed to the Israeli port of Ashdod, according to media reports.

On July 27, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) introduced a daily " tactical pause " in military operations in certain areas of the Gaza Strip from 10:00 to 20:00 Moscow time. This decision was made in connection with the increased flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza. Moreover, from 06:00 to 23:00 Moscow time, designated safe routes will be in operation for the passage of humanitarian aid convoys from the UN and organizations that deliver and distribute food and medicine to residents of the Gaza Strip, the IDF added.

The Israeli military clarified that such a regime will be introduced until further notice in areas where military operations are not being conducted: Al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City.

On July 25, the Russian leader's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow supports UN Security Council resolutions on the Palestine issue, considering them the only way to resolve the conflict in the Middle East. In October 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin recalled that the UN Security Council resolution prescribes the creation of two states in the Middle East : Palestine and Israel. He added that Russia has always proceeded from the fact that this decision must be implemented.
