At least 14 people were killed and about 36 others are missing following an attack on a village in the east of Democratic Reublic of Congo, according to the local MP.
The attackers were armed with machetes when they descended on the village on Sunday in Djugu in Ituri province, said Gratien Iracan.
A local source speaking under anonymity told the BBC that the killings were linked to rivalries between militia groups operating in the region following the murder of a local teacher on Saturday.
An army spokesperson told the BBC that investigations had started on the incident.
Ituri province has been witnessing fighting between militia groups over ethnic tensions and possession of gold mines.
