Nineteen corpses were found in a village on the edge of Lake Albert in the DRC.

No group has claimed responsibility, but the region around Ituri province has been hit in the past by intercommunal violence between militias from the Hema and Lendu communities.

"The attack happened on Wednesday when armed bandits attacked a group gathered on the beach to set up a market," the official said.
