The United Nations says mass graves containing 49 bodies have been discovered in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Thursday, attributing the killings to an ethnic militia group.

Forty-two bodies, including 12 women and 6 children, were found buried in the village of Nyamamba, in Ituri Province. The bodies of 7 men were found in the village of Mbogi, about 30km east of the provincial capital Bunia, the UN peacekeeping mission, MONUSCO, said in a tweet.

The Peacekeeping Mission says, “MONUSCO strongly condemns these barbaric and cowardly killings attributed to The Cooperative for the Development of Congo .”
