Two UPDF soldiers killed in ADF ambush at Apakwang, Mambasa territory, eastern DRC

The Ministry of Defence said two UPDF soldiers were killed in an engagement with ADF rebels at Apakwang, about 40km north of Komanda in eastern DRC, and that its forces killed three attackers and recovered three guns. Congolese social media posts claimed dozens of Ugandan and Congolese troops and civilians were killed, which the army spokesperson dismissed as misinformation; footage reviewed by the Daily Monitor showed more than five bodies in fatigues, though the paper could not verify it.
