Terrorists killed at least 13 people, including infants and patients, in an attack on a clinic in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Thursday night, hospital staff said on Friday. The Congolese army blamed the raid on a local militia allied with Islamist fighters.

The ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack, the group’s news agency said in a statement on its Telegram channel on Saturday.
