At least 41 people, 38 of them students, were massacred at a secondary school in Mpondwe town in Uganda close to the DRC border. The army and police of Uganda have blamed the Allied Democratic Front (ADF) armed group for the attack. This is one of the deadliest attacks in the country since 2010. In 2021, Uganda and DRC launched a joint offensive against the ADF to drive them out, but the measures have mostly failed. There are still people missing.
