A bomb killed at least five people on Sunday after detonating in a church in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the army said.
Details of the attack remain hazy, but military spokesman Antony Mualushayi said the “terrorist act” happened in a Pentecostal church in North Kivu province’s Kasindi, a town on the border with Uganda.
Mualushayi later told reporters that at least five bodies had been taken to the morgue following the blast, in what he called a provisional death toll.
Joel Kitausa, a local civil society figure, put the death toll at eight and said 27 other people had been wounded.
