Militants said to be aligned with the Allied Democratic Forces set fire to the dormitories of a Ugandan school
Dozens of schoolchildren were brutally murdered when militants suspected of having links with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terror group crossed into Uganda from Democratic Republic of Congo on Friday and attacked a school, according to local authorities.
Five attackers, said to be rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces, looted Lhubiriha Secondary School and torched its dormitories, leaving at least 25 children dead and eight more victims in critical condition, police in Mpondwe said in a statement posted to Twitter on Saturday.
