Armed militants stormed the settlement of Cantine in the Madiwe sector of Beni territory between the night of November 5 and the early hours of November 6, 2026. The group attacked residential neighborhoods while families were sleeping, destroying structures and spreading terror in North Kivu province.

Justin Paluku, president of the Civil Society Forces Vives of Madiwe, confirmed to [International Christian Concern](https://persecution.org/2026/11/10/more-than-30-killed-in-latest-adf-attack/) that more than 30 civilians were killed overnight. He reported that the night turned into unimaginable suffering for families who went to sleep expecting an ordinary morning.

During the raid, the attackers set fire to homes, shops, and commercial buildings throughout the community. Local civil society leader Tchetche Aliamini indicated to [News.az](https://news.az/news/what-is-behind-the-deadly-adf-attack-in-dr-congo) that initial casualty numbers are likely to rise as search efforts continue.
