A bomb exploded in the Pentecostal church in the North Kivu province town of Kasindi. Congo's army allegedly linked the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a Ugandan armed group that has pledged allegiance to ISIL (ISIS), to carrying out the deadly attack.
Later, ISIL claimed responsibility for the blast. A Kenyan man was arrested in connection with the church attack.
