The Congolese Armed Forces launched attacks in Minembwe using a drone, injuring civilians and damaging a Pamu plane that was delivering aid to those displaced by the conflict.
This occurred on the morning of Monday, June 30, 2025, when the drone fired on Kiziba and near Gishigo.A witness at the scene stated: “The FARDC destroyed the Pamu plane that was delivering aid to those displaced by the Mai Mai attacks.
It fired missiles, causing significant damage.”He added: “There were also two civilians injured by the missiles fired by that drone.”Yesterday, on Sunday, the Pamu plane attempted to land at Kiziba airport but missed and crashed across near Gishigo.
When the accident occurred, it was reported that it was not severely damaged, but rather that it was injured on its right wing; however, no one was died in it, except for one of its crew members who was injured, but reportedly not severely, as the report continued to state.
At the end of February of this year, 2025, this Congolese army drone also dropped bombs in Minembwe, where it did so at different times and fired in many locations.
