Overall, at least 4 were killed (all of whom were men and refugees/IDPs) and 80-100 people were kidnapped. 14-18 vehicles were burnt down and 1 FARDC officer disappeared. The FARDC/MONUSCO eventually released 50-70 of the abducted victims, some of them in Mafifi. Community displacements were triggered. The ISCAP claimed the event, targeting Christians.
