 At least two people have been injured in an explosion at the Catholic Church in the north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC. The property damage is significant. A local media reported citing witnesses are saying that the tragedy occurred in Benny of North Kever province shortly before the Sunday worship. Armed groups which have been active in this part of the country for decades have increased their attack in Benny since the beginning of this year. Now faced with the growing insecurity in this region, DRC President Felix Cicciacati decided at the end of April to declare a state of siege in North Kever and the neighboring Ituri province.
