Jean-Paul Ngahangondi said today that two people remain missing after the attack overnight Wednesday in the Kasinga-Munzambayi locality about 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Beni. He says a dozen homes and two military camps were burned and food and valuables stolen.
He says the UN peacekeeping mission has reinforced its presence in the area.
Congo's military has blamed Allied Democratic Forces rebels. The rebels have been accused of killing more than 700 people since October 2014 in the area.
