FARDC in Ituri warn about ongoing violence in Djugu territory, including targeted killings, kidnappings, and attacks on their positions in several localities, attributed to the CRP/M23 led by Thomas Lubanga. Clashes between the CRP and CODECO occurred in Nyampala, resulting in at least 16 combatant deaths according to sources, and causing over 3100 civilians to seek refuge near MONUSCO's base in Rhoo. Several homes were burned in Blukwa, with provisional and fragmentary human toll reports pending confirmation.
