The army in the Democratic Republic of Congo says at least ten people have been killed by a militia in the east of the country.
A military spokesman said the Allied Democratic Forces beheaded eight people in one village Boyo and shot two more in another nearby Kainama. They also burned down houses.
The ADF has stepped up attacks on civilians since the military launched an offensive against the group eighteen months ago.
The militia originated as an Islamist movement in Uganda, but has not staged attacks there for several years.
