At least 40 people, including Christians, have been killed in what Open Doors has described as a "killing spree" in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Of the victims, 21 were attending a prayer vigil in a Catholic church at the time of the attack at around 1am on Sunday morning.
The attack was carried out in Komanda, Ituri province, in eastern DRC. It has been attributed to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an affiliate of the so-called Islamic State.
In addition to the church, other deaths occurred in nearby houses and businesses that had been torched.
Christians have been speaking out about the situation in DRC amid protracted violence and a February massacre in which 70 people were found dead inside a church, many of them having been beheaded.
