The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a terrorist group linked to the Islamic State, launched the attack at the Catholic church located in Komanda.

The ADF rebels who attacked the Komanda church had machetes and guns.

Communities near the church heard gunshots but thought these were from robbers.

At least nine children were among the 43 killed in the rebel attack.

Several other people have been reported either injured or missing.
