A suicide bomber killed at least five people by detonating his bomb, Saturday, December 25, 2021 in Beni, in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the provincial authorities accuse the rebels of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) group, in a official press release.

"The suicide bomber, prevented by the security guards from accessing the bar crowded with customers, activated the bomb at the entrance. The still provisional toll shows six dead, including the suicide bomber, and 13 wounded admitted to local hospitals ", wrote Brigadier General Sylvain Ekenge, spokesperson for the military governor of North Kivu. A source from the town hall of Beni told AFP that among those killed, "there are two children". "Among the wounded are the two deputy mayors of the Communes of Mulekera and Ruwenzori," she added, indicating that "the hard-pressed ADF terrorists activated their sleeper cells in the town of Beni with a view to triggering actions against peaceful citizens ".

The bomb exploded inside the "In Box" restaurant, located in the center of the city of Beni, where more than thirty people were celebrating the Christmas party, according to two witnesses interviewed by AFP.
