UN peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have helped rescue five abducted civilians, a UN spokesman said on Tuesday.
The UN peacekeeping mission known as Monusco intervened to help release five civilians, including a woman and two minors, following their abduction by an armed group close to Djugu in the eastern province of Ituri, said Stephane Dujarric, chief spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
