At least 24 people have died in a town in the east of the Democratic Republic Congo after a rebel attack, the Congolese army says.
Seven civilians, one UN peacekeeper and four soldiers are among the dead, the army says.
UN General Jean Baillaud said it was suspected that the attack was carried out by a Ugandan group, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).
The ADF is based in north-east DR Congo after being pushed out of Uganda. One local civil society group put the death toll at 38.
