Attack on UN peacekeepers in DR Congo left 3 dead, amid protests
Two Indian peacekeepers were killed in action in Congo during an intensely violent anti-UN protest in the country.
The United Nations has warned that attacks on its mission could be considered a war crime.
According to news reports, at least 15 people died overall during a second day of protests in the restive North Kivu region, which began on Monday, with demonstrators accusing the United Nations of failing to do enough to stop a rise in deadly attacks by armed groups, some of which have been active in the area for decades.
Mr. Guterres condemned the multiple attacks on UN bases across the region which began on Monday, “in which individuals and groups forcibly entered bases and engaged in looting and destruction of United Nations property, while also looting and setting fire to the residences of United Nations personnel.”
