- Searches continue in surrounding villages as Marie-Noelle Anotane, head of the New Civil Society of Congo/Mambasa, stated the death toll of 13 remains provisional because most residents are unreachable.
- Resident Sylvain Andali fled Mambasa for Bunia, fearing repeated ADF attacks and stating he left to protect his family after witnessing neighbors' deaths.
- Congo faces attacks from roughly 100 other rebel groups, including the Rwanda-backed M23; the ADF killed 66 people in July 2025, which the United Nations called a bloodbath.
